Organize your family records

Posted

PRINCETON –The Bureau County Genealogical Society will have a program at its regular meeting on Thursday, Jan. 25 for those interested in learning about ways to preserve and organize family records, pictures, and memorabilia.

The speaker for the evening is a newcomer to Bureau County. Penny Christman has chosen Wyanet as her new retirement home to be closer to family. Her career has included administrative and management positions in customer support, human resources, and payroll. She has combined this business background with her hobby of genealogy to create a new business called Preserving Your Heritage.

The meeting will be held at the Bureau County Genealogy Society library at 629 South Main Street in Princeton. The public is invited to this free program which will begin at 7 p.m.

Christman’s powerpoint presentation will include details of three of her specialties: digital scanning of photos, documents, slides and negatives; displays and scrapbooks for heirlooms and memorabilia; and capturing genealogy data for family history. She will also have some actual samples of her work from her own family history on display.
