Genealogy Workshop in Warrenton, Saturday 7 Nov

SAR Genealogist General John Sinks delivers the lunch time address.

     The Culpeper Minutemen Chapter SAR and the Fauquier Court House Chapter NSDAR co-hosted a Genealogy Workshop today.  27 volunteers from both chapters and 31 attendees listened to Genealogist General John Sinks talk during lunch on "Who Was a Culpeper Minuteman?" and attended eight sessions on various genealogy topics, including one on "SAR Requirements and Resources" by Virginia Society Registrar Mike Taimi.
     Five door prizes were provided by Family Tree DNA and Ancestry.com.  Family Tree DNA also provided all who attended a $30 discount on their most popular tests.  All attendees were provided a free continental breakfast and a hot lunch.  The workshop has been held on the first Saturday in November for several years by the Fauquier Court House Chapter, and this is the first year that the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter has co-hosted.

Part of the crowd of 58 people look on as CMM President Bill Schwetke introduces Genealogist General John Sinks as the main speaker.
