The origin of this chapter came in a seminar which Dr. Gene Sneary conducted at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton in the spring of 1975. A number of those attending that seminar, probably encouraged by Dr. Sneary, decided to form a genealogical chapter. This group elected Mr. M. Riggs Goodman as their President and he continued in that role in 1976 and 1977.
