You are encouraged to attend our monthly meeting on St. Patrick’s day in March (Monday the 17th). The hostess is one of our new members, Teresa Woodward and the program will be presented by Delaware County Genealogical Society President and Grove Public Library Staffer, Glendia White: The Genealogy of True Grit.

What does “True Grit” mean to you?  The fifteen branches of the Eastern Oklahoma District Library System are featuring the book, True Grit, and movies this spring.  DCGS President and employee of the Grove Public Library, Glendia White will present an original program entitled “The Genealogy of True Grit”.  It will feature the family stories of the author, Charles McColl Portis, as well as the original cast members of the 1968 version of True Grit.  While building a new nation, many of our ancestors exhibited grit and determination to survive. True Grit.

Once again, the public is welcome and don’t forget to bring friends! Networking starts at 6:00 PM with the meeting at 6:30 PM at the First National Bank Community Room, Miami, Oklahoma.

The Ottawa County Genealogical Society will meet Monday, November 18th, in the Community Room of First National Bank, 1749 North Main Street, Miami, Oklahoma. Refreshments will be served at 6:00 p.m., followed by the monthly business meeting, including program at 6:30 p.m. Carolyn Leach and Cari Allen will be the hostesses for the evening. The public is, as always, encouraged to attend this free event, sponsored by the organization.

Corresponding Secretary, Carrie Cook, will present a program that should be of interest to all computer users: Maximizing photo handling in MS Word. Newer versions of Microsoft Office allow for basic “tweaks” without ever leaving your program of choice. Many basic users never stray beyond their word processing program (Word), but may be surprised that these techniques apply to most Office programs. Demonstrations include how to lighten, darken, position, recolor, crop and resize that can be used on any graphic (photos, documents, maps, etc.). If time allows, newer Word options such as basic artistic touches such as creating duotone photos and adding borders will be shown.

The Ottawa County Genealogical Society will meet Monday, October 21st, in the Community Room of First National Bank, 1749 North Main Street, Miami, Oklahoma.  Refreshments will be served at 6:00 p.m., with the program scheduled for 6:30 p.m.  The public is, as always, encouraged to attend this free event, sponsored by the organization.

Award winning author, M. Carolyn Steele, Tulsa, Oklahoma, will present the program, “Capture Your Family’s Past” using heirlooms and antiques.  Whether it is something as personal as a hand-made quilt or as utilitarian as a much-used tool, every heirloom has history.  She will discuss the value of genealogical and historical research while encouraging each person to record the stories from his or her past.  Tips on preserving old artifacts such as documents and fabric items will be included, as time permits.

ImageMrs. Steel combines her love of history, writing, and genealogy to inspire others to preserve their own family legends for the generations that follow.  She states that “Combining my knowledge of storytelling and genealogy, I often speak to groups on the need to record family legends.  These front porch or fireside stories survived through generations of telling before the distraction of television and high energy movies replaced after dinner or Sunday afternoon gatherings.”
