Upcoming Meeting: September 9
Passing the Baton: Bringing Family Heirlooms to Life

A follow-on discussion to our "Save or Scrap?" meeting.

In our last meeting, we confirmed what we already suspected: as genealogists, we are savers! But once we’ve decided to keep our family treasures, the next big question is: How do we make sure our kids, grandkids or heirs actually care about them?

 

An heirloom sitting in a sealed attic box is just an object waiting to be misplaced. But when placed in an accessible "discovery drawer" or memory trunk with its story attached, it becomes an unforgettable link to the past.

 

Join us for a facilitated, interactive round-table discussion on bridging the generational gap. We’ll explore creative ways to bring physical treasures out of dark closets and into living spaces so younger family members can touch, explore, and connect with their heritage.

Following over a year of successful breakthroughs and growing attendance, the Lake Oswego Public Library and the Lake Oswego Genealogy Interest Group are proud to sustain our monthly genealogy assistance program. Unlock your family history and find your ancestry answers with our experienced local guides by getting started with ancestry answers.
