This Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 2 PM, the Cloud County Genealogical Society will meet at the Cloud County Museum for the “Family History Preservation” program. This event is open to the public and residents throughout Cloud County and surrounding areas are encouraged to attend. The event will begin with a personal speech by Guest Speaker Linda Houser Dietz; daughter of Nellie Maie Hudsonpillar, who hailed from a farming family in Cloud County — Arion Township, KS, to be exact. These details, among others, will be discussed in Linda Houser Dietz’s speech, as the Guest Speaker shares her own experience in taking a boots-on-the-ground approach to ancestry research. Traveling from town to town and cemetery to cemetery, Dietz uncovered her family history from every angle.
In her speech, Linda Houser Dietz will encourage attendees to embark on similar family history preservation journeys. Jean Graugnard, Historian and Researcher, looks forward to the Cloud County Genealogical Society’s sharing of genealogy resources, methods for organizing digital data and filing techniques for archival data unique to a specific family history.
