Individuals interested in learning more about tracing their ancestral roots are invited to attend monthly meetings to learn more about the processes of multi-faceted approaches to reveal family lines and to share their talents and skills with other individuals. The objective is to provide participants with information to support their genealogical research.

Our Genealogy Group 12-month schedule covers a wide variety of specific topics. They are held on the third Sunday of each month at 2:00 pm (Eastern) for 60 to 90 minutes. These meetings are free everyone and all are welcome to attend.

The first part of each meeting focuses on a specific genealogy topic as noted in the schedule. The presenter will provide an overview of the topic that may involve the use of genealogical tools and websites to find and manage information. The last portion of the meeting is spent asking specific questions, working to capture our information and expanding our skill sets. Documents for each topic presentation are posted on this site as resources to share. Check the folders below the annual schedule.

To participate and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members interested in genealogy, please send an email to the address below to register to attend either in person or via a Zoom conference call. It is also important to check the schedule as dates may change from time to time due to weather, vacations, etc.
