We all see these tv commercials showing people getting all excited when a leaf appears, but how many of us actually do some research? Turns out, more than I thought!
You can dive into your back story and learn what struggles and successes came before your ancestors.
Next week is one of the largest genealogy conferences in the area and it's hosted right here in our town!
In this conversation, Michelle highlights some of the unique resources available at the center for newbies as well as seasoned experts. She was a wonderful tour guide through the many rooms and explained just how to dig in to the stories hidden in the archives.
Some of the war documents are so extremely interesting! I could picture a high budget documentary special on them!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
