Wise Words

  • Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
    Mark Twain

  • There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children - one is roots, and the other, wings.
    Hodding S. Carter

  • He who has no fools, knaves, or beggars in his family was begot by a flash of lightning.
    English Proverb

  • We are the children of many sires, and every drop of blood in us in its turn ... betrays its ancestor.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
    Unknown

  • We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.
    Jimmy Carter
    Former U.S. President

  • In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.
    Alex Haley, Roots

Going Green!

We have two new initiatives at the NWMGS, both are aimed at helping defray costs as well as helping our planet.

The first involves recycling metal cans. If you are in the area and would like to drop off your cans to us, we will be happy to combine them with those of others and take them to the recycling center. The money we raise will be used to purchase new materials for the library, such as books and microfilm.

The second involves ink cartridges from your printer. We can recycle these as well and receive money towards our office supplies.

We hope you will help us, and Mother Earth, at the same time! These items can be dropped off during our regular open hours. The small ink cartridges will fit through the mail slot on the front door, if you'd like to drop them off at your convenience.
