This page is up to date information on our regular quarterly meetings
and swap meetings that are in the Spring and Fall. They are free and
open to the public.
Please check back often, the information will change as our meeting
times occur through out the year.
Our Swap Meetings are a great opportunity to both share your research
and hopefully resolve some of your brick walls. We always have a
wonderful time. So bring your family research, photos and other materials
to share with others, and spend the day. We would like for you to make a
family tree (pedigree) sheet to put out on the table so everyone can see
who is researching which families. A copying machine will be available for
your use (10 cents per copy to help deter cost.) Refreshments will be
provided; however it would help us if you would bring a dish to share.

Descendants of Confederate Veterans that meets in Walnut-Cove.
