BELFAST — The Belfast Free Library will be hosting the first meeting of the year for the Wawenoc Chapter of the Maine Genealogical Society (MGS) on Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 2 p.m., in the Abbott Room.

As the first meeting of 2023, the group will first take care of the annual administrative business, but the main event will be a family recipe potluck. Bring a dish to share, along with the recipe and any associated family stories, photos, etc.

“This is a great opportunity to meet fellow genealogists and learn more about this chapter of MGS,” said the Library, in a news release.

The group meets monthly on the third Wednesday of the month at the Belfast Free Library to discuss topics in genealogical research. Genealogists of all abilities and skill-levels are encouraged to join, from complete beginner to seasoned expert. Annual dues for members are $5 and go toward speaker fees and refreshments, but membership is not required to attend individual programs.

This meeting is free and open to the public.
