Lest we Forget.

Thank you to IMB!

Last year CAFHS was successful in obtaining a grant from the IMB Bank Community Foundation for two new computers for our Research Room! These have now been delivered and installed by PC Solutions. These new resources will enable our volunteers to better assist the local community with their family history, and to train people on effective research techniques and learn computer skills. Thank you IMB!
