On 12 March (Monday) at 6:00PM, Francee Calarco, of Calarco Funeral Home, will give a history of funeral homes of Watertown and talk about funeral home processes as they relate to genealogy. The funeral homes routinely get calls from researchers, and France will answer the more commonly ask questions.
Please tell your friends--better yet, bring a friend.

Driving directions to the church are:

FamilySearch Announces Its New Records for This Week
FamilySearch is at it again with new records. Most announced for this week are foreign records. That's all right, if you're like me, you're catching up on some of the older ones anyway. And perhaps you have ancestors in these countries!
Searchable historic records are made available on FamilySearch.org through
the help of thousands of volunteers from around the world. These
volunteers transcribe (index) information from digital copies of
handwritten records to make them easily searchable online. More
volunteers are needed (particularly those who can read foreign
languages) to keep pace with the large number of digital images being
published online at FamilySearch.org. Learn more about volunteering to
help provide free access to the world's historic genealogical records
online at FamilySearch.org/indexing.
Easily find and share this announcement in the FamilySearch Newsroom.
