July 13 - "Who We Are and What We Do" presented by Ruth Anderson
This program explores the process of the Rock County Genealogical Society when receiving requests for information. Do you have Rock County ancestors? Ruth will share the indexes and/or records held by RCGS, the Milton Historical Society, or records found online. Learn the process used after pulling records for creating the client report. The reports usually include a summary of records found and how each record tells a story. Most reports are sent to clients via electronic format.

As a member of numerous heritage societies, she has completed personal applications for over 60 ancestors. Retired RCHS Archives Manger, she has volunteered for the Rock County Genealogical Society for over 20 years.
