The Backtracker, our quarterly newsletter is published in March, June, September, and December.  The deadline for articles to be submitted is on the first day of the preceeding month. 

 

The purpose of our newsletter is threefold. Its primary function is to report the Society's upcoming events, general news and member services.  In other words, it is our principal communication link with our membership.

The second cause for our existence is to provide an educational forum for enhancing our knowledge of family history research methods and strategies.

The last and equally important aspiration of this journal is to provide a medium in which our membership can have their genealogical stories published.

If possible, when submitting an article for publication, include a copy of relevant antique photograph or map. I am looking for items that will help illustrate the tale you are writing.

 

One of my hopes is that PSGS members will write family history research adventure stories centered on the Kitsap Peninsula. Articles that have one or more of the main characters residing in our almost insular Arcadia.

In order to accomplish these objectives, your contributions of genealogical articles, whether a research adventures or self-help essays, will always be welcome. Queries, book and software reviews, society news items, surname interests and upcoming events will be appreciated.

Your story submissions to The Backtracker can be in the form of printed copy, legible handwriting, diskette, or an e-mail attachment. Send articles to Cyril Taylor, 9877 Cove Way, Port Orchard, WA 98367 or e-mail to: cyril_t_taylor@yahoo.com.
