PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - May 2022
Our SGES monthly meeting for April 2022 consisted of a field trip to Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville. Mr. Chris Scaft was our tour guide and presented a very informative discussion regarding the history of Evergreen Cemetery. I'm sure that I speak for everyone who attended, this tour of the Evergreen Cemetery certainly heightened our knowledge of the historical significance of this important site in Jacksonville.
Several SGES volunteers have been busy cleaning and organizing the library building, digitizing all the cemetery records and developing a Zoom presentation about our research library to be presented for the Jax Genealogy Society in May 2022. Volunteers are a very valuable part of this organization. A big "Thank You" to GiGi Brown, Liz Duclose, and Alana Masters for their important work in our library over the last several weeks. Darrell Kathman has been busy performing family research for people seeking assistance and has also been instrumental in giving our library building a face lift. Come by and see our new door! We can always use more volunteers so why not consider donating some to time at the library?
We are sad to announce that one of our longtime SGES members, Robert Ledwick, passed away in 2021.
Sincerely,
Carol Clay, President
