Union Co. Historical Society Annual Meeting June 28 topic: Lost Stories, Cemeteries & Genealogies

–Lost Stories, Cemeteries & Genealogies is this year’s Annual Meeting topic June 28

Please mark your calendars, the Union County Historical Society & Heritage Museum’s Annual Meeting will be Friday, June 28, 12 noon, at the First Methodist Church.  Steve Robbins will be our guest speaker with the topic: “Lost Stories, Cemeteries and Genealogies“.

Robbins, a native Union Countian, is a history detective. Son of the late Marshall and Sheila Robbins, he inherited years of research from his mother.  She also passed along to him the desire and the skills to find lost stories, the hidden cemeteries and the connections to build the larger histories of our communities and families.

He is now sought out by others who respect this history detective, his skills and his work.  He helps others solve mysteries.
