The first meeting of the Henry County Genealogical Society was held Monday, September 15, 1986, at the Deshler Edwin Wood Memorial Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first organizational meeting was deemed a success, with more than 20 area men and women in attendance. Jana Broglin, the district representative from the Ohio Genealogical Society, was present to help with the organizational requirements, and answer any possible questions. Jana furnished several activity ideas and a list of available speakers, generating much interest for future programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first order of business was to elect temporary officers, to handle the meetings, until an election could be organized in January 1987. Our new officers were as follows; Jane Shively – President; Mary Jo Cunningham – Secretary; Lucille Van Scoyoc – Treasurer; and Connie Petersen – Newsletter Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charter memberships were available until January 1987. Until that time, single or joint memberships (all of one household) were sold. The membership was to be good through December 31, 1987, and include a newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
