Omaha Chapter Patriot Biographies

by | Nov 24, 2018 | Omaha Chapter

The Omaha Chapter page is growing!
We have added an Omaha Chapter Patriot Biographies page. Check it out at www.nessar.org/omaha-chapter.

If your Patriot does not have a biography linked to him, we either did not have a copy of the bio, or one has never been submitted. Submit a small bio/article for your Patriot Ancestor so we can have all of our Patriot’s histories told for our Chapter and others can learn about your heritage!

Although many biographies have been submitted to the Biography Project at National, we still have many of our Chapter Patriots without bios. The more bios we submit, the more stars we can earn for our flag streamer, so get those biographies to us.

Enjoy reading about your Compatriots’ Ancestors!

Omaha Chapter – October Program

by | Oct 13, 2018 | Omaha Chapter

Our program for October was delivered by Lorraine Jeffus, Past President of Questers International.

Her program covered the history of The Questers organization which was founded in 1944 in Ft. Washington, PA.  Their mission is to educate by research and the study of antiques, be it antique items, landmarks, or architecture.  Their National organization gives grants to their chapters to help with restoration projects that the chapters take on.  One of the projects in the Omaha area that received a grant was the restoration of a stained glass window within the Joslyn Castle.  They have also sponsored a fellowship that helped to restore the tent that General George Washington used during the Revolutionary War.  That tent is now on display at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, PA.

It was a very interesting program, and a great organization to learn about.  If you are into antiques and want to learn more, check out The Questers online.
