for an all-day workshop which includes the business
meeting and the use of the Society Library. The
meetings are held at the Goleta Public Library,

"There is a. moral and philosophical respect for our
ancestors which elevates the character and improves the
heart. Next to the sense of religious duty and
moral feeling, I hardly know what should bear with
stronger obligation on a. liberal and enlightened mind
than a consciousness of an alliance with excellence
which is departed." Daniel Webster 1782-1852.

PHESIDENT^ MESSAGE
For the second month in a row our new member list has continued to
grow. At the February meeting another 9, newcomers joined our organization!
even more than last month. It was great to see the new faces and the enthusiasm
that comes with them. Our membership, as of 9 Feb. stands at 53 of which 17
have joined us for the first time. It is always rice to welcome new members
like Wanda Purdum. Almost simultaneiously with her joining she donated an in
dex to the MONNET Genealogy and volunteered to help us copy courthouse records
for publication in future quarterlies. She is indeed an asset to our Society.
Our regular monthly meeting in May (7 May) will be something different
in meeting site, format and time schedule* The library rooms will not be
available to us so,we are,sponsoring pur first social event/fund raiser;of the
year. The site1. my homej the timet from 1PM to 4- H*? the format1 informal
conversation! refreshments on the. patio and a silent auction. Members, spouses
and guests are'invited.
For'those who are not familiar with a silent auction, it works in
this manner, We will all donate some of the "white elephants" we would like
to part with (no*limit as to' number)• They may or may not apply to genealogy
but may be vasesj tools', pictures, Office supplies, plants, games, jewelry,
antiques, books,' or whatever. 'The items will be placed on tables by catagory
with a slip of paper affixed to'each one. Your bid (whi.ch may start at 10
unless a minimum beginning bid is noted) is to be recorded on the paper by
writing the.amount.offered and:your,name, From then on the pace quickens. It
will be up to you during the course' of the afternoon's conversations and,re
freshments to keep taos on your bid. Others may come along and top your bid
and iVwill be up to you to. up your bid if you are still interested. You do so
by again, recording your increased bid and signing your name. At a,certain
designated time (when ye ole cow bell sounds) the auction will be closed and
the highest bidder on the slip of paper will pick up his/her "loot" and pay the
cashier the final bid offered,
!It should make for an interesting afternoon when we can all get'better
acquainted, clear out some back closets and pick up a few fcaick-knacks we may
have been looking for. Oh yes, the money received? It will go toward the
purchase of new books for our library, •'
I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mr, & Mrs. Dean Smith of
Pepperell, MA for their kind and generous donation,of the new name tags for the
Society. It was a most welcome gift coming at a most opportune time as we
start a new year.
A special thanks also goes out to our long time member, hard worker
and ardent supporter Doris Sprague, She is the one responsible for that new
sign on our meeting room door. Doris stepped out of office as co-librarian
last January, but notice how she is still helping out at the library table or
the reception desk, or in any other way that she can. With friends and support
ers like those just mentioned, how can we help but excel?

A Few Hints for Research in Britain
1. Do your "homework" thoroughly* List as many dates and places as po:
sible and as much data as you have available about occupatlon(s) of
your immigrant ancestor or person for whom you are searching. It i:
unbelievable the number of persons with identical names one finds ii
Sritish records. To be sure you find THE one for whom you are look
ing you need as many reference points as you can accumulate.
2. Study the map showing the counties as they existed in the early day
then locate the town or village within the county. Frequently coun
•histories will reveal data you do not have. These county histories
are more often available in the smaller libraries of a given area
than in London libraries.
3* Good maps indicating percentage of records before 1813 that have be<
recorded by the Genalogical Society of Latter Day Saints are avail
able through the Society in Salt Lake City. A study of the maps an'
records available will save much "backtracking".
k0 Excellent maps showing every hamlet are available in the Atlas pub- ^
by the Automobile Club of Britain. -Ask for the address of the.
club and price of Atlas from the British Tourist Authority. ' [
5*' A list of the ships with their dates and names of your ancestors
known to have arrived on them will speed research and avoid dupli
cate copying, much of which has to be done by hand.
6. A 3x5 card headed by name of a county with listing of relevant data
of your ancestor from that county helps to save time and confusion.
7. Some sources for data for counties and villages (as well as travel
information):
British Tourist Authority
John Hancock Center, Suite 2540
875 North Michigan Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60611
or
612 South Flower Street,
