Time normally is the domain of historical researchers, but it is running out for the Lake County Genealogical Society.

  1. What a shame! I conduct genealogical workshops at the Civil War Museum in Kenosha and will no longer be able to refer participants to Fremont Library. I hope you can find a home soon, and one that will accommodate you for many years.
