THE QUESTING HEIRS ARCHIVE 

Betty Marie Marr Memorial Lecture

Nine years ago on May 21, 2006, the Questing Heirs Genealogical Society of Long Beach presented two lectures by esteemed genealogist Henry Z. “Hank” Jones, Jr., FASG.

These talks were made possible by our late member and benefactor, Betty Marie Marr. They were a gift to the genealogical community of Southern California. No admission fee was charged, and tasty snacks were provided at the break to all attendees. The turnout was large, fulfilling Betty’s dream of providing educational opportunities to local genealogists.

RESEARCH NOTE: The event described above came to fruition because Betty Marr remembered QHGS in her will and made a special bequest to our organization. We are thankful she did so, and we will honor her memory again in 2016 at the next Betty Marie Marr Memorial Lecture.
