Communications

The phone lines are out here at the Pember. Send an email or a facebook message. We’ll try to get back to you ASAP.

Chicken Barbecue

A Chicken Barbecue to benefit the Pember will be held Saturday, May 23, 4-7 PM at the VFW Pavillion opposite Cosey Fuel on North Street.

In this course, Kathleen shows how to find the juicy details that motivated us to begin all this research: lengthy obituaries, prison records, ship logs, etc. This is why we research: to discover the family stories that have been lost to time.
