Topic: Emerson Heritage Fair reminder
Dear Researchers:
One last reminder for the Family Heritage Fair, being held in Emerson,
Nebraska August, 5, 2006. All families are invited to bring their family
tree
information, books, pedigree charts, descendancy sheets, family history
write-up,
you name it, if it is about your family we will find a place to display it
somewhere. If you do have an item for display it will entitle you to the
50%
discount on the admission price.
The central focus of this event is the one small church district of
Schleswig/Holstein called Giekau, but the overall fair will cover all parts
of the
world. Yes! Even Scotland, so my wife can put her family tree out also with
her
Hume clan.
There will be a genealogy workshop held during this time also, maybe you
can
pickup some pointers on your research.
As many of you know, part of Emerson is located in three counties, Dixon,
Dakota and Thurston. Wayne County Genealogy Group has been invited to help
with
this workshop, making this a four county affair. If you have family from
that area and can not make it to this event, feel free to send your
pedigree and
descendancy charts to me by e-mail and I will print them out and see that
they get displayed. Please have your e-mail and snail mail addresses on
what is
sent in so if people do find a connection they can get in contact with you.
You may also mail your information if you wish. For more information and
the
workshop schedule please check the web site. _www.giekau.com_
(http://www.giekau.com/) . You will find the schedule and registration
sheet on the Misc.
page and you do not have to be a member to go there.
Thank you for your time,
Gary Schoening

PS Our neighbors from The Probstei, Selent and Lutjenburg areas are looking
a little bare and we could sure use some family information from those areas.
( I know that we are just the little church in the "hood") but we are willing
to share with you big guys. Just kidding (sort of)
