Moving Time!

I will no longer be using this blog to get you information on Genealogy Updates.  Starting in February, you can find out what new books we've gotten in and what events are happening at LibraryAware.  To subscribe to the Genealogy newsletter and any other of the newsletters offered by the library, go to http://www.libraryaware.com/1685/Subscribers/Subscribe?showonlynewsletterlists=true  If you click on the title of each newsletter, it will give you information on the newsletter and a link to the latest issue.  The first Genealogy newsletter will come out in the beginning of February and continue each month.

Thank you for your continued support - Susan
