Planning for our 23-24 Jun 2028 Joseph Vick Family of America Annual Meeting in Fort Wayne, IN. The JVFOA Board selected Fort Wayne, Indiana for our meeting location for 2016. Best Western Luxbury Inn Fort Wayne is our selected hotel, but most of our time will be at the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center (900 Library Plaza) in Fort Wayne, Indiana. 

Meetings include genealogy workshops, local historic events, and relevant topics including DNA analysis and seminars.  With one of the largest samples of DNA testing from our members, orphans and adopted individuals have been able to find their Vick roots.  In addition, visits to local historic sites, libraries and courthouses have been arranged to further our genealogical research.  

Mr. John Beatty will be the featured speaker on Saturday, June 24, 2016. 

Event Coordinator;  Host is Amy Beatty
