General Meeting: Searching for my Great-Grandfather Herbert Campbell

April 22, 7 – 8:30 pm

Presented by Will Campbell, Columbian Editor
For years, Will Campbell researched and traced his great-grandfather’s journey to buying The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Washington and starting his family’s destiny. Now, more than 100 years later, Will is in the role that Herbert once held as Editor and Co-owner of The Columbian. There are many parallels in their stories, and there are still mysteries Will aims to uncover.

Will Campbell is an award-winning journalist, editor and fourth-generation co-owner of The Columbian, the largest news source in Clark County, Washington. His goal is to find a business-model equilibrium in a changing news industry, with both digital news and print news that informs readers, records history, and serves as a community watchdog.

Class: Cleaning Up the Internet, One Lineage at a Time

May 6, 10 am – noon

Presented by Steve Aberle
We all know the phrase “I read it on the Internet so it must be true!” But what if it isn’t? This presentation focuses on how to examine what others have posted online in order to make an enlightened decision on whether those lineage claims are based on fact or fiction, and whether they are worthy of inclusion in your own genealogy research. The class is followed by a free workshop evaluating some family trees.
