The Genealogy Club is going to be highlighted in the September issue of The Tipster. As part of the article I need to gather quotes from members about experiences or anecdotes that they may have about the club or genealogy sleuthing. The theme of the page is “It’s More Than Living…It’s A Lifestyle.”
Please send me any quotes or fun experiences you have had with the Club and I will try to incorporate them in the article. The more, the better.
Thanks

My husband’s mother was born in Tucson in 1910. It’s been an adventure tracing her roots because she does not have a birth certificate since she was born at home. .
We’re developing a better picture of Tucson in those early years.
I’d been interested in my family history since finding a partially filled out family tree in my Baby Book, but I didn’t know anything about doing genealogy until I found our club when we moved here. It has been a wonderfully life-changing experience!
My mother always told me we were related to Benjamin Franklin and on my dad’s side of the family, there was just one Mormon. It took me a long time to “sleuth” this, but I eventually found I am a first cousin 9x removed from old Ben and there are thousands of Mormons in my family tree!
It was a pleasant surprise to find the Genealogy Club in Sun City and was a factor of moving here last year.
