Entry is located at the back of the building. The building is located one block east of the South Main Restaurant on Hwy 395.
With the holidays rapidly approaching now is the time to prepare for the (possibly spur-of-the-moment) opportunity to interview a loved one at a family gathering. NeWGS Prersident, Karen Struve will conduct an interview of one of our members to demonstrate what types of questions you should be prepared to ask. Oftentimes these are once-in-a-lifetime moments. Many of regret not asking the important questions that could have led us in the right direction for future research.
All visitors are welcome. You do not need to be a member to attend the Northeast Washington Genealogical Society's meetings.
