Robert Perret from the Eastern Washington branch of the Washington State Archives will be our speaker. Robert will have updates on new items that have been donated to the archives. Bring your questions if you are looking for something specific and hopefully Robert can give you an answer.

We will have a quick general meeting at the church and then travel north on 395 to visit the Kettle Falls Historical Center just west of the town of Kettle Falls. The center was badly damaged in 2023 and it has since been redesigned. Please come and join us for a look at the "new" center and a very informative afternoon.

All-day workshop with hands-on classes on using Ancestry.com, MyHeritage and FamilSearch.The event is free and includes lunch. Registration will be available soon which will help us know how many people to prepare for. Other topics include DNA, Brick Walls and Family History Guide. Watch this page for more details as they become available.

Have you ever wondered about how a rancher comes up with his own branding design? When did cattle or

horse branding start? What are some of the old rules versus the new rules of branding? If one of your ancestor

had a ranch or fram and did brand their animals, bring a copy of their brand, to share with the group. If you have

a story about this brand, please share it with us.Our guest speaker will be Dr. Jenna Baker.

Our program will be announced shortly.
