The Mecklenburg chapter participated in a regional genealogy seminar at the Gaston County Library today for an afternoon of presentations, discussions, meetings and personal discussions about people’s ancestors.

“This was a really good opportunity for residents across the Greater Charlotte area to come together and learn about their ancestry,” said Dave Alls, Mecklenburg chapter genealogist and registrar. “In addition to our SAR chapter, there were DAR, Colonial Dames, Confederate Sons & Daughters, the Broad River Genealogy Association and about ten other organizations discussing ancestry and their organizations.”
