She will also show samples of some of the thousands of images including portraits, family gatherings, school events, house photos, and social groups from the late 1800s to mid-1900s that are contained in the Newcastle Historical Society’s Dinsmore-Flye collection.
Skidompha genealogy volunteers are available Thursday afternoons 1-3 p.m. to assist members of the public with genealogy and questions about local history. The second Thursday of each month is designated for roundtable gatherings. Everyone is welcome.
