The West Florida Genealogical Society will meet on Saturday, August 1, at 10:30 am. The meeting will be held at the downtown Pensacola library, in the Genealogy Department on the second floor (239 N. Spring Street). A society update and informative business meeting will precede the program.

Our speaker, Jan Beck from the DAR, will speak on “Revolutionary War Attire.” She will come dressed in Revolutionary War attire and speak about what women had to go through to get dressed each day. Today, we take for granted how easy it is and how few pieces of clothing we wear compared to the women of the Revolutionary War era. Jan is the Regent of the Pensacola Chapter of the DAR. She has been a DAR member for over 20 years and has served in many roles during her time in the DAR.
