Welcome! You've arrived at the rejuvenated "What's New" part of the Godfrey website where we will be posting news, announcements and happenings, both here at Godfrey and in the larger genealogical community. We will continue to send out announcements via email (Constant Contact) as well. You can find us on Facebook, too, as well as Instagram. We look forward to sharing the news and having you join the conversation!
