July 31, 2025 Annual Summer Picnic Potluck

Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m., July 31, 2025, is the Annual Summer Picnic Potluck.  It will be held at the Concord Woods Shelter, 11211 Spear Rd., Concord, Ohio.**    Enjoy a relaxing evening visiting with fellow genealogists.  Bring a dish to share and your own place setting and beverage.

This year, we will return to Concord Woods for our annual summer potluck supper – bring your best dish!!  The evening will start at 5:30 p.m.   After a delicious supper, Cathi Weber, lifelong Willoughby resident and the current director of the Little Red Schoolhouse will join us to share ideas on how to NAME THAT DECADE OF FASHION in your old family photos.  Cathi leads the program at the school house where 4th grade students experience a day in a one-room school house, circa 1901.  She also curates the fashion collection of the organization.  She will share tips on how we can use clothing styles from the mid-1800’s thru the early 20th century to date our mysterious family photographs.  Bring along a few old photos from your collection to display and share.

**Spear Rd. is off Auburn Rd on the north side of I-90.  Follow the entrance drive past the buildings at the front of the park to the shelter.  Here is a link to the park’s information – https://www.lakemetroparks.com/park-trails/concord-woods-nature-park/

We will start with a very basic tutorial using RootsMagic (Regardless of the version you may have).    Please prepare as follows:

  1. Have the software installed on your laptop
  2. Bring your laptop to the Sleeves Up gathering (be sure it is fully charged or bring A/C adapter)
  3. If you have an Ancestry or Family Search account, be sure to have your sign in information
  4. Bring as much information you have on your ancestors (D.O.B., Marriage Date, D.O.D., Maiden name etc.)

We should be able to log into the library’s Wi-Fi, with your personal laptop, if need be.
