Curtis_Wolbert_1

Curtis Wolbert and daughter Cyndi, both members of the Otoe

County Genealogical Society, visitied the Rocket Detectives

after-school club on November 30. Curtis talked about how

he got started on researching his family history and the

interesting stories he has uncovered. He gave the students

new ideas on where to search for records on the internet,

and the importance of knowing American history and where

the kid's ancestors were in relation to well-known events,

such as the Civil War. Next speaker will be Judy Schwab,

on December 14, representing the Otoe County Museum of

Memories; she will have a display and speak about the

"Bluebirds", Syracuse women's semi-professional

baseball team.

Thanks to the employees of Countryside Bank for their

Christmas party. A pot luck dinner was held and the Bank matched

the employees donations which included: Local Food Banks,

Area Foundations, and local Fire & Rescue Squads.
