The President's Pen is a monthly column written by the WAGS President. It is published monthly in our newsletter, WAGS Family Tales, and posted here on our website.
Our current President, Kristina Newcomer, usually gives a summary of the speaker's presentation at our monthly meeting, and often includes her experience in applying the knowledge gained from our speaker, as well as tips on how to incorporate the speaker's suggestions into your family history research.
