Oh Pioneers!
Colorado’s 150th Anniversary Pioneer Project
Presented by Nancy Ratay
Help celebrate Colorado’s Sesquicentennial! Learn how to share the stories of Colorado’s early pioneers. Who are they? What do we know about them? How can we find the missing ones?
Nancy will share the Colorado Genealogy Society plan to create a database of Colorado pioneers and she will be asking for help to add to those lists from the four FhGS counties: Clear Creek, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park.
Anyone can help---not just descendants of pioneers. There are plenty of sources: cemeteries, local and family histories, and lots of records: census, military, mining, school, church, marriage, deeds. Let’s share their stories.
Guests are always welcome at FhGS activities. There is ample parking and an accessible entrance at Applewood Valley United Methodist Church, 2035 Ellis St., Golden, CO, 80401. To attend or receive the ZOOM link, register at https://foothillsgenealogy.org where individual and family memberships are available and donations are welcome.
Foothills Genealogical Society has supported genealogical research for 45 years with educational programs, classes and field trips and by preserving and publishing historical records from Clear Creek, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties in Colorado.
