MCGG Members to Present Across USA

We thought we would take a moment to tell you about a couple of our members who are speaking across the country.

On Saturday, October 8, 2002, MCGG Member Dara Tolbert Brooks is presenting for the Genealogical Society of Sarasota (Florida) on Medical Care and Child Birth in the Segregated South (Moments from Rural Families) focusing on the lives of those from her own lineage and the stories that were passed down. Unfortunately though non-members can attend in person, the Zoom link is for GSS members only. MCGG sends Dara great presentation thoughts.

On November 1, 2022, at 7 p.m., MCGG Member Donald Batkins is presenting over Zoom for the Plymouth District Public Library on Grand Army of the Republic in Detroit, 1891. The GAR was a Union Army Civil war veterans organization created in 1866. The organization was revitalized in the late 1870s and continued into the 1940s. In 1891, the GAR held their 25th National Encampment (convention) in Detroit. This program focuses on that 1891 encampment, illustrated with period photos and illustrations. The talk ends with a short discussion of the final encampment in 1949. That encampment was held in Indianapolis, where the organization began. The event is free but registration is required.

If we missed any other MCGG members' activities we apologize. Remember to let us know if you are presenting anywhere.

See you someday soon at our favorite library!
