Find Your Ancestors

The 1889ers Society welcomes all people, but we give special distinction to those who are descendants of those who "made The Run of 1889" into the Oklahoma Territory.  To qualify, you must know the legal description of the land your ancestors homesteaded. Now there's a new tool.  The Oklahoma Genealogical Society has published a CD-ROM so you can just look in your computer to find the start of the trail of your ancestors. It provides Township, Range, Section and County of the land, as well as the Volume & Page of the tract books.  Most importantly it is searchable by Last Name, First Name & Date of homestead.   That's enough to become a Descendant Member and it's a good start for your genealogy study.

It costs $20 and is well worth it!

2010 Christmas Party Print E-mail

DSC_0192.jpg

Saturday, December 4 was our Christmas Party at the Memorial Christian Church.  As a "Pot Luck", it was really good.  Chicken and meatloaf were the main dishes (meatloaf ! home made!).  Different types of potatoes au gratin, cranberry something, cakes and pies... all of it was tasty and there was plenty to go around.  It's a busy time of year and only about 25 people came, but we had a good time.

... and there was more!  Cindy held a rapid-fire meeting that covered all the bases in record time.  Authorizing participation with OKC Community Foundation, establishing a nominating committee  reporting on the payment of taxes, setting up the April meeting.  June McCuistion told about a land run painting she may to lend to the Airport; Bob reported that the Airport Display is growing

Linda Verges led the Nominating Committee (Russel Hayes and Bob Howard) and we had a new slate of officers before we left.

... whew!  A lot got done.
