Every Home has a Story: Researching Your and Your Ancestor's Homes with Kathy Nielsen (General Meetings)
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Online via Zoom. Registration Required.
Ever wondered about the history of the houses where your ancestors lived? Curious about the history of your own home? Each one has a story to tell. Every family has left their mark on their homes, just as these homes have left their mark on those who lived there. The census, maps, deeds, wills, photos, directories, and newspapers help us discover insights into our family's homes.
The Family Tree Maker Special Interest Group will meet online via Zoom on the 3rd Thursday in December. Facilitated by Ron Setzer and John Jay, the SIG’s aim is to help members learn how to use their Family Tree Maker software for their genealogical research. Contact Ron Setzer at papasetzer@comcast.net for Zoom login instructions.

Join us in-person for our January Workshop. Rick Hanson will lead a discussion about creating your own family history publications. He will address all your options including the simple (a photo montage in the form of a pedigree chart), a good first-start project (a speciality book), and the ambitious (a hardcover family history book). Rick will provide examples of what he has done along with important tips. Most of the meeting will consist of a group discussion and answering questions. Be sure to bring your own publications to show off.
