We have a couple of events coming up of interest to the genealogical and historical communities at the local level:
On 10 September 2011 is our seminar: "Bringing Your Ancestors to Life," with guest speaker Patricia Charpentier. This is a hands-on writing workshop, where participants will write brief vignettes of their family history using techniques that Ms. Charpentier will teach during the day-long session. Volunteering participants will then read their selections to the audience. Fee at the door is $40. For more information, visit http://www.sgesjax.com and click on 'Upcoming Events" or call the Society at 904-778-1000.
On 24 September Baker County celebrates their sesquicentennial, sponsored by the Baker County Historical Society. SGES will have a table at the festival. The celebration will be in Macclenny, in Baker County, near the junction of U.S. 90 and Fifth Street (coming from Jacksonville, turn right on Fifth Street).
