LIBRARY & GENEALOGY
The Society has been building a small library of books related to Scottish history, Scottish and Irish genealogy, and West Virginia regional genealogy. The books are used in various presentations, as sometimes at the Festival’s Genealogy tent and at a genealogy workshop at our Picnic in 2009, but the books may also be checked out by Society members.
The Library is maintained by Bill MacLean. His home email address is macleanbe@earthlink.net and home telephone is 304-842-0370.
