Finding Your Roots:
A Beginner's Guide
Presented by the Iowa Genealogical Society
Saturday, April 30, 10:00 - 12:00 p.m.
Theresa Liewer, President of the Iowa Genealogical Society, will present this beginning genealogy program to anyone interested in learning more about family history. She will cover organizing your information: forms, charts, physical storage of papers, and an overview of software programs. She'll also discuss how to evaluate sources and learn about the pitfalls of relying on other's research, both online and in books.
Together, participants will explore genealogy websites and work through some basic building blocks of genealogy, including personal family items and census records. Attendees are encouraged to bring birth and death dates and locations for their grandparents or great-grandparents so Theresa can help try to locate more information about them. By the end of the program, everyone should have a good idea about how to start, where to go for more information, and how much fun family research can be.

Gardening the Amana Way
Presented by Larry & Wilma Rettig
Thursday, April 28, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Larry and Wilma Rettig will have you itching to get out working in your gardens! Larry is the author of Gardening the Amana Way, published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. He'll have books available for purchase.
Larry and Wilma organized the Amana Heritage Seed Bank, which preserves vegetable varieties that their ancestors brought with them from Germany in the mid-1800s. Wilma and Larry raise all their own fruits and vegetables organically and no-till. Their gardens-flower and vegetable-have been featured in local, regional, and national media and on many tours to the Amana villages. The gardens, aptly named Cottage-in-the-Meadow Gardens after a cottage that sits on their property, are currently listed in the Archives of American Gardens at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Their Cottage-in-the-Meadow website is popular with gardeners on the Internet.
