Jefferson County Genealoigcal Society Update

MONDAY, 13 MAY @ 6:00 PM

 The scheduled lecture on Italian Genealogy has been postponed—the lecturer will be on extended jury duty and is unavailable.

In its place, Acting President Tom LaClair will give a lecture on the growth of Thousand Islands and how tourism rapidly grew after the highly publicized visit of President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872. Tom will share how the river region adapted to the rapid influx of tourist while sharing some history on several major hotels of the era; when built and closed (or burned). We should each remember, many of our Jefferson County ancestors, in the late 19th and early 20th century, worked in tourism—hotels, restaurants, stores, fishing, etc.—just as you may work in the area tourism industry yet today.

The meeting is held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ives Street, Watertown, across from Immaculate Heart Central School (IHCS).  Driving directions to the church are:

• From Route 81, take exit 44 to Route 232 toward Watertown. Drive 1.1 miles and take the second left turn on to Ives Street Road. Continue straight into the city. The church is the second building on the right; across from IHCS. 
• From Watertown, it is on Ives Street, across from IHCS. Take Washington Street to Barben Avenue. Turn onto Barben Avenue and take it until it ends in a T. Turn left and the church building will be 300 yards on the left, just past IHCS. Or from Watertown, take Massey Street South; veer right onto South Massey and left onto Ives Street. The church building will be on your left, just past IHCS.
