Barbara taught genealogy continuing education classes at Collin College from 2008 to 2021.

Join us for this in-person event as we close out the year with our Annual Pot Luck "Show & Tell". Bring a "dish to pass" and, if you like, an item to show . . . perhaps a document that you've found, share a story, present a trinket, pictures or any research success documenting your genealogy history.  We'll have fun as we enjoy the stories and history of the many items to be viewed.  We'll be sharing good food and good times.  It will be fun!
