Williamson County Texas Genealogical Society - Quarterly

The Williamson County (Texas) Genealogical Society's quarterly publication, The Chisholm Trail, was sent by email and postal mail to members earlier this month.


The contents of this issue are:

• Deposition of James Welker
• Pioneer Certificate No. 319 Issued – Ancestor August Mueller
• Descendants of Curtis Roberts
• Dallas Announces Annual Writing Competition
• Delayed Birth Records – Williamson County, Texas
• Births, Marriages, and Deaths Reported in the Round Rock Leader 1929-1930
• Ancestors, for 7 Generations, of Sara Gredler

We get a good mix of items each quarterly, but I'd love to have some more well-researched compiled genealogies.

Williamson County, Texas, Genealogical Society Meeting - This Thursday

Thursday is the monthly meeting of the Williamson County (Texas) Genealogical Society.

We meet at the Round Rock Public Library and the presentation begins at 7:30.  Social time, with snacks, is from 7-7:30.

This month's speaker is Teri Flack, treasurer of the Austin Genealogical Society, and she is speaking on probate records.  I thoroughly enjoy Teri's talks and I am so excited that I am not out of town for work this week!

Hope to see lots of people there!

Williamson County Genealogical Society - June Meeting Review

On Thursday, Williamson County Genealogical Society had a presentation on DNA by Debbie Parker Wayne (http://debbiewayne.com/).  It was super-well attended, with (I think) 56 people attending, 46 members and 10 visitors.  I had expected less due to summertime.  We ran out of subject handouts as well as "current local events" handouts.  I can't remember the last time that happened.

Debbie was a great presenter and very knowledgable about her topic.  If you get a chance to see her presentation on DNA, take advantage.  Her gingerbread men and gingerbread women showing the mixing of genes were a big hit.

I was the last person out of the library and didn't end up getting home until nearly 10pm.  We've had a number of months with great speakers and attendance.  Next month is on probate records, and the speaker is Teri Flack, treasurer of the Austin Genealogical Society.  Visitors are always welcome!
