Fairmount resident Sandra Leonard will give a presentation on her family genealogy research on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the Wheat Ridge Gathering Room, 333 Wheat Ridge Drive, on the west side of the Fairmount campus.

Leonard is a former librarian and at one time taught a course in which she helped others to write their stories. She is now a genealogist and the author of two books. The first, "From Sea to Shining Sea," is based on her family history dating back to 1752. While doing research for this book, she uncovered and solved a mystery involving Indian Eve, a distant relative, and her upcoming presentation will include details about this research. Leonard's second book, "From Bavaria to Brady," was written with her husband, Keith, on his family history dating back to 1834, and the book includes many pictures. Leonard is currently working on a five-book historical series based on her family history.

This program is free and open to the public. Copies of "From Bavaria to Brady" will be available for purchase at the event. Space is limited, and reservations are requested by calling 717-354-1893.
