SUMMARY:SCAG Meeting - Anne Hanson\, "Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida"
DESCRIPTION:When Anne Hanson’s dad first asked her to investigate the secret past of his parents\, little did she know what she was getting into. Numerous genealogical searches and traditional sources failed to reveal even a speck of evidence that the families of her grandparents\, Frank and Ida Hanson\, had ever existed. Finally\, after two decades of dogged research\, Anne unearthed her grandparents’ true identities and the secrets they took to their graves. While her new book\, Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida\, is one of suspense\, it also celebrates love and family. Her genealogical research helped to heal familial wounds and gave her father the answers he had longed for his entire life. \nHanson will present “Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida – a Genealogical Webinar” for the St. Cloud Area Genealogists on Tuesday\, January 16\, 2024 at 7 p.m. at Stearns History Museum (235 33rd Ave S.\, St. Cloud). The presentation will also be available online and will be recorded for members of SCAG and registered guests. For more information about online availability\, email scag@stcloudareagen.org. \nAnne Hanson crossed the ocean for her African Studies degree\, and as a reporter\, would drive endless miles across town to get the story. Anne has written for the Boston Globe and numerous newspapers\, as well as for corporate publications and the New England Historic Genealogical Society’s American Ancestors magazine. She lives with her husband in Brookline\, Massachusetts. \nThis event is free for SCAG members\, $7 for non-members (to register email kmsauer@ymail.com).

SUMMARY:SCAG Meeting - Carolyn Sowinski\, "Frozen on the Minnesota Prairie"
DESCRIPTION:Many genealogists have not considered how adverse weather conditions affected their ancestors and the communities in which they lived. How could a researcher find information regarding weather and its effects from decades ago? \nKandiyohi County native Carolyn Mankell Sowinski will share her experience in a book talk hosted by the St. Cloud Area Genealogists on Tuesday\, October 17\, 2023 at 7 p.m. at Stearns History Museum (235 33 rd Ave S.\, St. Cloud). In Sowinski’s sixth book\, The Great Storm: Minnesota’s Victims in the Blizzard of January 7\, 1873\, she identifies 84 people from 31 counties in the state who died in this three-day storm. These victims included men\, women and children; Civil War veterans and recent immigrants; homesteaders and villagers. Sowinski will read excerpts about the storm\, highlight historic documents about\nthe victims and share some of her approaches to genealogical research. \nThe presentation will also be available online and will be recorded for members of SCAG and registered guests.
