sponsors trip to

Allen County Public Library

Fort Wayne, Indiana

 on

March 25-26, 2010

 

Open to anyone interested in genealogy!

                         The Allen County Public Library is the largest public library in the USA. It has many resources that are not available to us in southwestern Ohio. Another advantage is that all books are available on open shelves, and sorted by state and county. The Library website is www.acpl.lib.in.us. Click on Catalog to search books and periodicals before you go. Click on Genealogy to see an overview of the collection, pathfinders on certain subjects, and an inventory of microfilm holdings.

 

                        We will be car-pooling. The plan is to leave early on Thursday morning from various locations for the three-hour trip to Ft. Wayne. The Library will be open until 9 pm on Thursday night. We will leave the Library on Friday around 4 pm and arrive back in the Cincinnati area about 7 pm.   If you are interested in being considered as a driver, call Jean Nathan at 793-2106. Drivers do not pay when they register and they are compensated for the use of their vehicles.

 

                        The cost shown below includes your room and transportation. All expenses for meals will be on your own. We will stay at the Americas Best Value Inn, four miles north of the Library. All are invited to have breakfast together Friday morning at a nice locally-owned family restaurant located adjacent to the hotel. The rest of the meals we eat in small groups when and where it fits into our research. There is a Dunkin Donuts in the Library and other places to eat within walking distance.

 

                        There will be limited space, so please make your reservation by February 16 by sending a check to the address below, along with your name, phone number and the part of town you live in, so we can arrange car-pools and pick-up points.
