Genealogy Club Meets April 11

 The Genealogy Club of Newtown’s April 11 meeting will feature Vicki Welsh, a professional genealogist specializing in people of color and native New England.

Ms Welch holds a BA with honors in anthropology and psychology from the University of Connecticut, and has published numerous articles and spoken at conferences on the national and international level.  She has worked for several tribes seeking federal recognition.  She is a member and recognized elder in local tribal culture, and a hostess of a powwow for 23 years.

Ms Welch is also an expert in ferreting out facts and voices for those hard-to-find individuals who define the foci of American origins and evolution as people, movement, community, culture, and nation.

The Genealogy Club of Newtown meets at 7 pm on the second Wednesday of each month at C.H. Booth Library. The public is welcome. For further information call Mary Maki at 426-3889.
