Our monthly meetings are a place for like-minded genealogists to come together. We invite everyone, including those just starting in their journeys and longtime experienced users. We hope to have everyone feel welcome and included.
The Society meets nine times a year on the second Thursday of the month (no meeting in July, August or December) at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. Meetings are designed to provide useful information to both the newcomer and the veteran researcher. Each meeting has a short business meeting followed by a speaker presentation or panel discussion. Please see our home page for specific monthly information.
Discussion begins at 6:30pm for those who wish to arrive early.
Our upcoming February presentation is:
Speaker: Nancy Loe
Topic: Finding Females in Naturalization Records
Thursday, January 8th, 2025
The virtual doors will open at 6:30 pm Pacific; the program will start at 7:00 pm.
