PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 11, 2005


GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY TO MEET IN AUBURN
The Placer County Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting
at 7PM, Wednesday, February 23rd, in the Beecher Room of the Placer County
Library located at 350 Nevada Street in Auburn. This meeting date is one
day earlier than normal because of scheduling at the library. The meeting
is free and open to the public.

The program speaker this month will be Barbara Leak, with her subject being,
"A Placer County Pioneer: The Story of Peter Oest." She is a fifth
generation Californian with early American ancestry. Past President and
current Librarian of the local society, she is also the editor and principal
author of the society's popular handbook, "Tracing Your Family Tree: How to
Begin." In addition, she is currently the President of the Genealogical &
Historical Council of Sacramento Valley, and has lectured for more than 10
years, specializing in land and military records.

The Placer County Genealogical Society has a membership of over 200 that is
made up of individuals and families that have historical and genealogical
interests. The group holds a general meeting at the Auburn library site on
the fourth Thursday of each month from 7-9PM, and features a program speaker
on various genealogical subjects. The group also offers two specialty day
groups that meet from 10AM to noon. One, the Day Study Group, studies
various topics of member interest and meets at the library the second Monday
of each month except July, August and December. The other, the Family Tree
Maker User Group, reviews genealogy computer program subjects on the second
Thursday of the month, and meets at the Latter Day Saints Church, 1255 Bell
Road, in Auburn.

The Society maintains a web site at "www.pcgs.pcgenes.com" where details of
these meetings can be found as well as other research references and
announcements.
