The Family History Interest Group (FHIG) at Bernards Township Library aims to inform, inspire and encourage you as you seek ways to learn about the life, loves and relationships of past family members. This newsletter is the very best place to find information about upcoming and past FHIG meetings, news and notes about related topics, and ideas, tips and suggestions for your own successful genealogy searches. You may have heard, I've told the Library Board, Township Committee, and Library staff of my desire to retire at the end of 2019. It is my hope and intention to continue the coordination of FHIG, even in retirement, and I'll need help and support to do that. I look forward to chatting with you soon and putting some shape to this plan. -- Ruth

A RootsTech video stream. Tuesday, July 23 Family stories inspire and empower us. Have you by chance seen the movie, Lion, starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman? Based on the real life experiences of Saroo Brierly, this movie tells a story of hope, determination, sheer grit and being fierce in the face of astounding challenge. Join us in the cool Library on July 23 and hear and see the heart rending story of the real boy, now a young man, behind this family story, as told by him on the RootsTech stage in March 2019. We'll follow this viewing with a discussion about the family stories that you have uncovered through your family history research, the people who have helped you in those discoveries and the techniques that you found helpful.
