Mason County Genealogical Society P.O. Box 103 Shelton, WA 98584-0103 The Mason Log Volume 10 Issue 5 December 31, 2012 January meeting • Thursday, Jan 3rd • 7:00 p.m. Start time • Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 12th & Connection • Membership dues - single: $15.00 Couple: $20.00 • Find us on the web at http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wamcgs/ The inside scoop • Member Questionnaire • Katie Gale Program • For Love of Paper continued • Privacy and Computer Security • Letter from the editor The Questionnaire By now you should have received the questionnaire that our co-presidents sent to us. Based on the number of blank lines and question marks, I think they want us to answer them. Just a guess on my part but long experience in the government has taught me the more questions marks there are, the more the level of importance goes up and the desire for some answers. My advice, answer the questions and bring it to the meeting. Jody and Sue would like to have a discussion about the answers and results at the meeting. I’ll answer couple of them right now. Would you recommend any favorite books for research? Yes.* What would you like to see covered in future meetings? Projects that we could do as a group, and hands on research that would give all of us a sense on how some processes work. Learn how to winnow the results of computer searches to arrive at the best answer or candidate. We have a small enough group that we could try some of this at our meetings. Or…How difficult would it be if we decided to photograph all the headstones in Mason County and make them available online? , OCR Text: Mason County Genealogical Society P.O.
