The 12th Annual WCGS General Meeting was held Sept. 14th - 15th, 2007 in Chicago, IL. We met at the Chicago Hillside Hotel (a.k.a. Best Western Hotel), 4400 Hillside, IL. Members found many things to see and do. Some took the opportunity to visit the Newberry Library http://www.newberry.org/genealogy/collections.html. The library has quite a large a genealogical collection. According to their website, "The Newberry has over 17,000 genealogies. The collection is especially noteworthy for its coverage of colonial America, particularly New England, and also includes many rare titles covering gentry and noble families of the British Isles." The Newberry Library is located at 60 W. Walton St. - Chicago, IL - 60610. The Reading Room hours are: Tuesday-Thursday 10-6 and Friday-Saturday 9-5.
