Kinseekers Meet On Thursday, July 6
On Thursday, July 6, the Kinseekers will discuss “How Do You spell That?” The spelling of names/words often changes drastically over the years, and even varies in different areas of the world.
You don’t have to be involved in genealogy research, plan to come the first time as our guest.
Kinseekers meets the first Thursday each month from 1 to 3 P.M., in the Fellowship Hall of the Fairfield Glade Community Church, 521 Snead Drive, FFG. Park in the sanctuary-side back parking lot and use that side door.
At our May meeting, guest speaker, Sherri Manker, shared information about several programs available for the study of DNA, and explained some of the pros and cons of each of them. She showed how DNA can help in doing family genealogy research. DNA works best if several relatives; siblings or cousins for example, get tested and compare information. One limitation of DNA is, it doesn’t provide names; only personal research does that. Sherri gave us a lot of specific information about pursing DNA if we decide to go that route.

Beware of this Scam
The Tennessee Senior Medicare Patrol has received several reports of Medicare beneficiaries receiving postcards in different colors from The Joint and Back Institute with special notices concerning Medicare and Insurance Covered Back and Knee Support systems.
They ask beneficiaries NOT to call the number listed on the postcard and advise that you talk to your doctor first. According to Medicare Guidelines, Medicare only covers back and Knee braces that are deemed medically necessary.
Fraudsters are hoping to get your Medicare number so they can bill Medicare part B for equipment you did not receive, or bill for more expensive braces or knee support systems.
If you received such postcard as seen below, please report them to the Tennessee Senior Medicare Patrol at the toll-free number at 1-866-836-7677.
