Walt Stoyanoski
 
     "Taking a Genealogy Vacation"
 

      Speaker:   Walt Stoyanoski, OGS Board Member

Walt Stoyanoski will present “Take a Genealogy Vacation”.  He will discuss some things to think about and do before you leave on your road trip.  He will talk about the genealogy road trip he and his sister took to New England several years back, some of the interesting things they found and the people they met.

After retiring, Walt became interested in genealogy while going through his deceased aunt’s family history research papers and began searching for his great-grandmother’s grave.  He is now trying to improve on his aunt’s work and document information she was unable to source. Since then he and his grandson have made ancestor hunting trips to Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.  He and his sister have been to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.  He enjoys the detective work and walking where his ancestors did.


 
 
Meetings start at 6:00 pm in the Musser Learning Lab in the Research Library at the Oklahoma History Center, 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, Oklahoma City (across from the State Capitol–see map)
