Genealogical Society Meeting
The Clark County Genealogical Society will meet at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday at the Clark County Public Library’s Park Shopping Center Branch, 1119 Bechtle Ave.
The meeting will feature speaker Sue Mattinson, who will speak to the society about social situations of six South Charleston women. In each case, Mattinson will not only tell their stories, but also tell how she found the information about them, given that the genealogy of women can be terribly difficult to trace.
Guests are welcome.
