Tracing Our Family’s Albanion Roots for ages 18+ will be held in the Greene County Room at Xenia Community Library on Sat., Jan. 4, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Jim Wahl, a member of the Greene County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, will describe his family’s trip to Albania. Jim and his wife Janet took their family to visit Dardha, a mountain village, where Janet’s parents were born, raised, and married. Jim and Janet will share how they and their children learned about their maternal family origins, while also gaining firsthand experience of a different culture. Jim and Janet have been members of the Greene County Chapter for five years. Jim is an engineer who retired from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Janet is a volunteer at Soin Medical Center and enjoys documenting her family history. This program is co-sponsored by the Greene County Room — Local History & Genealogy and the Greene County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society.
