The Club will meet virtually on Wednesday August 25, at 11:00am. Susan's husband may have been a well-known abolitionist but almost nothing was known about Susan's own family. Anita will show how exploring pre-Civil War FAN (Friends, Associates, Neighbors) Club lead to solid information on the hidden half the family.
