Jane Glenz, presenter

Jane will discuss the importance and use of genealogical sources in writing about local history. Most of the examples will deal with the book, "Remarkable People You Probably Never Heard Of," but she will introduce us to her other books including the Cave Lady of Eau Claire and the Moore Farm on Tainter Lake.

Jane taught Social Studies in Shawano for many years, returning to her hometown of Eau Claire after she retired.  Now it was time to focus on her favorite hobby: researching and writing about the history of the Chippewa Valley and some of its unique residents.  She has a limited # of books remaining which she will bring along.
