"Who Do You Think You Are"

I am on an Ancestry.com mailing list that is promoting "Who Do You Think You Are". I will just cut and paste the synopsis of this weeks episode and include a link to a teaser at NBC. The teaser is on NBC's page that is all about the series. If you missed episodes 1 and 2 there are links for you to watch them on your computer.

This Week’s Episode

You won’t want to miss this week’s episode. Lisa Kudrow sets out to learn the hard truth about what really happened to her Jewish ancestors who remained behind in Belarus during World War II. Despite the cold details of how the Holocaust impacted her family, Lisa’s episode ends with a silver lining.



Check out the teaser featuring Lisa Kudrow, and tune into NBC for the full episode on Friday at 8/7c.

Just like those featured on the NBC series "Who Do You Think You Are?" your friends can find their ancestors, too! Tell them to call (858) 279-SDGS (7347) and we'll help them get started. Free!

Spring Ahead, Fall Back

If you have to get up on time on Sunday 14 March don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed on Saturday.

Los Angeles Public Library bus trip

The bus trip to the Los Angeles Public Library on 20 March needs more riders!

The special events chairperson said that the trip is in jeopardy because there have not been enough people sign up. If you are considering going, contact Kris immediately. There is a flier application at LA Public Library trip. The flier also has contact information for Kris. She needs to know by Friday 12 March!

The Los Angeles Public Library has one of the largest collections of City Directories in Southern California. If you had ancestors in a city between censuses that published a City Directory you need to go to LA. The library also has extensive collection of county histories that could be of use.

Even if the two items I mentioned don't excite you, just go along for an enjoyable day and support SDGS.
