EAGLE RIVER GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

The Eagle River Genealogical Societymeets the fourth Thursday of every month in the Olson Memorial Library conference room, from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. ,however due to many "Snow Birds" we only have meetings from April through October. We do keep in touch with one an other from November through March and occasionally meet during the day at the Library to work on something special or of interest. We also meet with community members wishing to know more about genealogy and how to get started on their Family Tree. We work with the Eagle River Historical Society on the Cemetery Walks.

We have been working on up dating ALL of the cemetery transcriptions in Vilas County, putting them on Cd's and on the Vilas County WIGenWeb site as they are completed, this is done with a group working with Lorene Schertzl. We also do look ups for the Vilas Co. Web site.

This past Fall and early Winter, we enlighten the Eagle River Girl Scouts on how to work up a Family Tree and that went towards earning one of their badges.

December we have a Christmas get together and enjoy a dinner fellowship at a particular restaurant. Our April meeting will be our first for 2009 and we have much to plan and organize. For more information contact: Sharon Rogers.
