It was great fun, yesterday, when I took part in an art show to display my books. Right next to me, was a group of people involved in Genealogy -- a Genealogy Club. How ironic, since I have a passion for Genealogy. We enjoyed comparing notes, family histories and my book, THE GIRL IMMIGRANT. It makes me remember the time I sat in my first Genealogy class in Virginia and the professor told us, "Do not expect others to be as excited in family history as you are. When you see their eyes glaze over, stop talking."
Yesterday, it was delightful because we all spoke the same language. And we've set a date for me to speak at their Genealogy Club in January. Great connections and good times ahead for 2016. I am most anxious to share my book, THE GIRL IMMIGRANT, and my family history quest. I am sure I will end up learning from them and hope I have a germ of help for them too.
