Light lunch will be served.

Our genealogy presenter is Chris Black from Tampa, FL. Chris has done extensive genealogy and will share many resources, tips, and handouts to help you locate your relatives whether you are a beginner or advanced researcher. Please bring any bits of information you have; they will be building blocks to help you dig deeper into your family roots. If you need letters or documents translated, please bring a copy.

After lunch, we will take a ‘trip’ to Prešov and surrounding areas, presented by Bonnie Kobec Burke who attended the 7th Studium Carpato-Ruthenorum. She will take you to see Rusyn wooden churches, icon museum, Greek Catholic and Orthodox churches, historical sites, schools, open air museums (skansens), festivals, and the beautiful countryside of Slovakia. You will even learn a few Rusyn words!

This event is free and guests are welcome.

Please feel free to share this flyer.
