The Ozarks Genealogical Society will meet June 18 at the Library Center with a presentation from Jan Hinsey.

A family signature quilt from the 1930s helped break through a long-standing brick wall of Jan's second great-grandmother, Minnie McGee. Multiple family trees were built based on the signatures. These combined with newspaper articles, family histories, and DNA matches revealed Minnie’s family. Jan will be presenting in person.

Attendance Options: In person at the Library Center or Zoom for OGS members. Members will receive a Zoom link by email or find the link at ozarksgs.org>programs. Members must login for access.
