*Notice* Off for the Summer. Next meeting will be in August.

It will be Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 2:00 pm in the Osterneck Auditorium on Chestnut Street  across from the Robeson County Public Library, Lumberton, North Carolina.

At the April meeting Renee Hunt, Clerk of Superior Court in Robeson County, was the guest speaker. She told us about the type of records, in her office, that were public and those that were not. She explained how we could get copies of wills and estate records. It was a very informative meeting. We truly enjoyed her visit.

At our March meeting  Vicki Locklear, the Robeson County Register of Deeds was our guest speaker. We enjoyed her assistance in answering our many questions about research in her office. She also demonstrated how to access files online.

Members give us your suggestions.

We need ideas for  speakers and/or programs.
