5 Generation Charts- our Picnic was today -Sunday is Surnames
Great Day of 5 Generation Charts
Today we had a great turn out for 5 Generation Chart and Surname exchange day.
There was almost some one from every where on the wheel. I can think of only two places the
wheel hit that no one had kin that was there. But I know we have people whom have kin in
those regions also. :>)
Sunday, Gary Brock will be expounding on the surnames that were presented and telling where
they are from and what they mean as best as he can. Chula Vista Library 4th and F St. 12 to
3 P M.
It seems it was very hard for most to have a fully completed 5 Generation Chart. Many others
besides myself had 4 generations complete. I did not use the 5 Generation completed chart to
share today. Yes many of the female lines are very hard to track with accuracy.
It seems sad that we can not go back 5 full generations with completed data. I wonder how
much our grandparents knew that we did not learn that would solve this. Since we are talking
of their Grandparents.

5 Generation Charts and our Picnic is tomorrow
5 Generation Charts and Annual Picnic
The picnic is tomorrow at the Elks Lodge in Chula Vista off Telegraph Canyon Rd.
Make sure you bring your 5 Generation Charts can be up to 7 generations so you may be using
two of them.
Many of us are doing a 4 Generation Chart twice easier to see and we will have
the 7 generations we are allowed to use.
If you have received new information make sure you have entered it onto the charts and
sited the source.
Remember this is bring a sack lunch and share in the games and fun. Also there will be
a White Elephant raffle. Not sure if we are doing a book sale.
Starts by 11 and ends around 2:00. Join Gary in the Wheel of Fortune for your family
surnames and find either new people to share research with or new kin or better yet both.
This will also show how much you learned at the 5 Generation Chart and Forms classes
Ruth did to help everyone.

Wednesday Evening in Lemon Grove 19 August 2010
Today is Wednesday, mid of the week day, Hump Day, Words of Wisdom Day or Wordless Wednesday.
It also is Lemon Grove Research meeting day. 6 Pm Lemon Grove Library.
We will be sharing information on 5 Generation Charts and what they can accomplish for us in
genealogy. We are stressing these charts and others because they really tell you more than
you realize as you are filling them in or leaving blank holes.
I am going to show you a chart that Ruth Himan uses that was new to me and Gary Brock was
adding to it already. We shall share our research news and talk about if we have any goals
we set last year and if accomplishing any of them. Does setting goals help you to move
forward with your research?
See you this evening.
