YOU ARE INVITED to join us at the Yellow Trail Research Center for a different First Family of Hope each month.  We are now hosting Group 2, listed below, chosen from the early land owners who purchased land by 1840 in the Hawcreek / Flatrock townships.  These Talks will be Sep 2024 – Aug 2025. 

The Bartholomew County Genealogical Society would like to recognize the Yellow Trail Museum’s 50^th Anniversary in 2025 with something involving the First Families in the Hawcreek / Flatrock area.  We are inviting the public to participate in our gathering of information phase – The First Families of Hope Talks.  Group 1, families who attended the first Moravian Church Service 17 Jun 1830, were held in previous First Families Talks from Feb – Aug 2024. 

Feel free to bring photos, genealogy, documents, stories, or anything else you might want to share. With your permission, the Genealogical Society will scan copies during the sessions, so you can take home the originals you bring.  These digital copies will be available for all attendees (bring your own jump drive), as well as the Yellow Trail Research Center.
