BOWIE HERITAGE DAY  (Community Events)
12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Throughout Bowie
What better way to celebrate Bowie Heritage Day than stopping by our Rainwater-Miles Genealogy Library to see what you can learn about your own heritage and roots.
 
The PGCGS library is conveniently located at 12219 Tulip Grove Drive between the Belair Mansion and the Belair Stables.  You can take the kids to the stable for crafts and fun activities, farm animal petting zoo, blacksmith demonstrations, scavenger hunt and music by Cypress Creek Bluegrass Band.  Then stop by to see us for a quick tour of our library and meet our friendly staff.  We have free books (mostly on genealogy) to give away.  And don’t forget to make a stop up the street at the Belair Mansion too!

Small Town v. Large City – What You Need to Know About Researching in Both  (Monthly Meetings)
7:00 pm
PGCGS Library, 12219 Tulip Grove Dr., Bowie, MD 20715
Researching in a small town or a small county courthouse normally presents no problems in locating records. There may be more obstacles to researching in a large city as records may be found in more than one location, creating uncertainty on how to proceed. This presentation gives the background needed to learn where records may reside and help you overcome any fears of researching in a large city.
 
Sharon Hodges, our speaker this month and many times in the past, gives genealogy talks on a wide vaiety of topics based on her many years of researching her own family tree and that of others.
We will meet in person at our library and will hold elections for next years' officers.  There will also be a virtual option.
