The Bainbridge Island Genealogical Society will meet at 10 a.m. Friday, March 20 in the Bainbridge Public Library meeting room.

The topic will be “Mapping an Ancestor,” presented by Janet O’Conor Camarata, Association of Professional Genealogists.

She will demonstrate using geography and maps in research to provide visual clues to help answer questions about where, how far, and what is nearby, to learn more about our ancestors. Learn about the George E. Curry family of Ohio and Kansas and how maps focused the research, located property, identified lost place names, solved a family mystery, and identified jurisdictions to write for records.

Admission is free to members; $5 donation is suggested for nonmembers.
