Planning a Future for Your Family’s Past by Marian B. Wood (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
A video conference meeting using Zoom. Registration required.
Ancestors' photos, stories, documents, and heirlooms are part of your family's past, and they deserve to be protected to share with future generations. Even if you have no obvious heirs for your genealogy collection, this presentation will offer ideas for paths forward. Learn about the PASS process for organizing and storing family history materials with today and tomorrow in mind; curating your collection to keep key items while finding suitable new homes for other items; writing a "genealogical will" to safeguard your collection for the future; and sharing your family's history now, before joining your ancestors.

The 1940 Census and Preparing for the 1950 Census with Allison DePrey Singleton (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
A video conference meeting using Zoom. Registration required.
For those of us devoted to family history, “Census Release Day” is an informal but long-anticipated holiday every ten years. As genealogists, we eagerly await each new release of the census and the treasure trove of information it will bring. Unfortunately, we must wait 72 years after each census is compiled before it will be released to the public. Along that timeline, the 1950 Census is slated for release in April of 2022. However, each Census is unique due to changing questions from the previous versions. What can we expect from the 1950 census? How many questions will be on it? How can we prepare for the release? This presentation will answer these questions and more. To read Allison's speaker bio, click "Learn More" below.
Registration will open one month prior to the event.
