Welcome to SGES

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - August 2022 

Mark your calendar for the next SGES monthly meeting that will be held at Fort Mose, in St. Augustine, Florida at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 13th.  James Bullock will be the speaker and guide for this field trip.  The title of the program is “Fort Mose, Family and Friends.”  An email will be sent with the address and more information on this program.

SGES continues to promote the society.  Our free membership offer ends on July 31st.  We appreciate the donor who paid for these memberships.  We have had a good response from this offer and several new members have come to the library to research their family history.  We continue to give presentations to other organizations to promote the society and make the community aware of what the library has to offer to family researchers.

Sincerely,

Carol Clay, President
