Manatee Genealogical Society

Migration is an important concept in genealogical research. While our ancestors had fewer options for transportation than exist today, it was a common occurrence for many to move multiple times in their lifetime for numerous reasons. While there were exceptions, most would eventually begin the process of moving westward into the interior of America. Early on in US history, migration was primarily westward and southward. Ultimately, most of those who migrated southward would begin going out west.
About the Speaker: 
Bryan L. Mulcahy&nbsp;is the Adult Reference, Genealogy, and Literacy Librarian for Lee County Library System, Fort Myers Regional Library, Florida, a position he has held since 1990. He holds a B.A. (Political Science) and MLS (Library/Information Science) degrees from Florida State University.

Oscura 816 Manatee Ave E Bradenton, FL 34208

It’s not a party — it’s therapy at 120 decibels. House of Heavy is coming to Bradenton on 15 May 2026, taking over Oscura for the loudest, hardest, most cathartic night out your city has to offer.
Built for the fans who crave the pit, the riffs, the breakdowns, and the chaos, House of Heavy brings the energy of a packed metal show without waiting for the next tour to roll through town. This is a DJ-driven heavy music night built on nu-metal nostalgia, alt-metal anthems, and metalcore breakdowns, the tracks that raised you and still make you want to throw down. From Slipknot to Spiritbox, Korn to Knocked Loose, Deftones to Bad Omens, expect deep cuts, classics, and nonstop heaters all night long.
Grab your crew. Lace up your boots. Bring your rage, your voice, and the energy you’ve been saving for the next festival. When your favorite band isn’t in town, House of Heavy is. Don’t wait for your favorite band’s next tour date, make this the night.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/142916/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp;&nbsp;More Info</a>
