We received another fantastic family history book on the Mangels Family. It was brought here by Janet Gross. It is beautifully put together with some fantastic photography. Another amazing new family history (from the NY Group) is the Schlagenhaus book. Both works are nice additions to the research library.
Have a wonderful weekend. I'll be in Cape tomorrow. We have a researcher coming this weekend to use Zion Roots--welcome Carolyn. I'll be back at the museum on Tuesday.
Take Care,
Carla Jordan
