PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - June 2022
A special thank you to Peter Mullen and Linda Ellwood for presenting the May program on La Florida becoming an official Territory of the United States 200 years ago with the final exchange of flags on July 17, 1821.
SGES volunteers continue to clean, digitize material and better organize the library. We welcome any volunteers who would like to help at the library. Volunteers are a very valuable part of our organization. Please call the library at 904-778-1000 or send an email to sgesjax@att.net to offer your services.
SGES continues to offer a free one-year trial membership in our Society. You must apply before July 30, 2022, be at least 17 years old, and a resident of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, or St. Johns counties in Florida. Application for this free membership can be made from our website at sgesjax.org by using the “Join Now” button to apply electronically or to download a hardcopy application. Apply now and start enjoying the use of our research library and receive our monthly genealogy newsletter.
SGES will participate in the Jacksonville 200-year Bicentennial on June 11th in downtown Jacksonville. We will have an SGES tent on Laura Street with goodie bags of information along with the raffle of two free DNA kits from Ancestry.com. This event will take the place of our regular monthly meeting for June. Join us at the SGES tent in downtown Jacksonville on June 11 anytime from 12:00-5:00 pm.
We express our sympathy to the family of Claude Arpen, whose wife, Paula, passed away in May of this year.
The SGES Newsletter for June 2022 is attached. Again, we would like to emphasize the importance of how and where information comes from for our family trees. As my maternal grandmother used to say, “Any job worth doing is worth doing right!”
Sincerely,
Carol Clay, President
