Hear insights on tracing your genealogy at Sumter County Genealogical Society meeting on Feb. 17

Mary Francis "Frankie" Nesbitt will speak at the membership meeting of Sumter County Genealogical Society at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17, in the fellowship hall of Swan Lake Presbyterian Church, 912 Haynsworth St.
Nesbitt will share her journey as a genealogist as she discusses how anyone can start their genealogy quest without knowing much and shares the insights she learned that lead to a better “understanding a lot more about our line — where we came from, how we got here, why we came ... and now having connections with cousins we never knew we had.”
Refreshments will be served after the speaker’s presentation.
