We're celebrating 50 years of genealogy fun, education, friendship, and community! The party begins immediately after our featured monthly speaker's presentation. There will be food and swag! Watch this space for more details as plans are finalized.

Program Change: Dr. James Baker will talk about the kinds of family information that can be found in records from the American Revolutionary War. He graciously stepped in when the speaker we originally scheduled had to unexpectedly cancel. 

This meeting is free and open to all.

There is no membership meeting in December.

Farming was the number one occupation until about 1900. Nearly ten million Americans were engaged in some agricultural endeavor, from farmers, dairymen, florists, and gardeners to stock raisers, with the majority as farmers or farm laborers. You probably have many farmers in your family. Lisa Gorrell's presentation will cover those records you already use (census, deeds, probate, tax records) but also focus on how to get the most out of them to tell your farmer's story. The second half of the presentation will cover resources that can add context to the farming family story.

This meeting is free and open to everyone.
