Next meeting of Central Virginia History Researchers: Thursday, April 5, 4 PM, at the Jefferson Library
Gayle will tell us about seven persons of color born in Charlottesville/Albemarle between 1862 and 1882 who went on to become physicians. She is exploring their local roots as well as their professional careers. One of the doctors married a woman from Newaygo, Michigan (she says, Check it out on a map!). Gayle is also interested in knowing if and how their stories should be made available to others.
Bob will talk about his work on the Tinsley family of Louisa County. He will use Wilson and Marcia Tinsley, owned by two different Green Springs residents, as an example of an ‘abroad’ marriage and a springboard to using historical sources to understand the nature and extent of such marriages in central Virginia. He has asked members of the Tinsley family to come to the meeting to share their photographs and stories.
I believe that my family is related to the Tinsley family of Louisa County. I just read this announcement of your CVHR April meeting. I live in Radford and am unable to attend the meeting. Is there some way that we can connect and share information? Thank you!
Where exactly will the CVHR April meeting be held? Will it be at the Jefferson Library at the University of Richmond or will it be at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville?
Thank you!
The monthly CVHR meetings are held in the Kenwood Library at Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia at 4pm on the first Thursday of most months.
