6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Hybrid Meeting: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints AND by Zoom
Do you have a Union Civil War veteran? Did you know that in 1890 there were over 400,000 veterans who belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R)? This organization existed from 1866 to 1956. It generated records noting Civil War service, birth, marriage, death, residences, occupations, detailed biographies, and even photographs. Ms. Cohen will show you where and how to find these hidden gems.

Root Cellar's Genealogy Workshop (Workshops)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Sylvan Community Center, 7521 Community Drive, Citrus Heights
Glenda Lloyd will present "Document Your Treasures". This is a great topic for discussion -- we will learn from each other what we are all doing to identify and document treasures we have held onto like great grandmother Emily's hat and cap or grandmother Vera's hope chest. How will our family know the importance of these articles if we don't give them the keys to the puzzle?
Our free workshop meets the 3rd Thursday of each month from 2:00 - 4:00 pm, except for December. All are welcome - our members and the public - from beginners to more experienced genealogists. Invite a friend!
