Library Thanks DRT Ladies for Hosting Genealogy Workshop

November 28, 2018 - Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library would like to thank the William Crawford Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and the Texas Book Festival (#txbookfest) for making yesterday's Genealogy Workshop: Climbing Your Family Tree, such a wonderful success! We had a great turnout and learned so much from the women who came to teach and share at the workshop.

A big thank you to:

  • Maggie Casto, Registrar of the William Carroll Crawford Chapter
  • Vickie Martin, Secretary of the Shelby County Historic Commission
  • Barbara McClellan, former Research analyst for the Creek-Muskogee Tribe, east of the Mississippi
  • Gail Sholar, co-historian of the William Carroll Crawford Chapter

Without your hard work this would not have been possible!

Another big thank you to the people at the Texas Book Festival. Without the funds provided by them through a grant, we would not have been able to purchase books to update many sections of our nonfiction area, including the Genealogy section!

We look forward to doing this again in the spring! The date will be announced after the New Year!
