Estes Park Genealogical Society Meeting August 10

will meet on Thursday, August 10, at 1:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library for a discussion of “Lies My Father Told,” a story by Rick Somers of how his paternal relatives were discovered. Family reunions on his mother’s side involved over a hundred of her relatives, yet never a mention of any on his father’s side. Why the mystery?

This is the story of a four-year journey which uncovered an entirely new family history. It began with a chance meeting with an attorney specialist in forensic genealogy. The hunt ended when a previously unknown first cousin provided startling answers about a 15-year-old boy who ran away in 1920 and created fiction to make his way in the world. After nearly a century, the story of a large, hardworking family came to life, springing out of 19th century “kleindeutschland” Manhattan. Genealogy tools have uncovered 100s of our lost Stellmann family stories.

To discover new stories and your own family adventures, travel down the road offered by researching genealogy. The EPGS meets the second Thursday of every month from January through November in the library, offering a wide variety of programs and workshops. EPGS meetings are free and open to the public. Come join us.
