“SearchingOutsidetheBox–beyondAncestryandFamilySearch”
- Thursday, August 2, 6:30-8:30 pm
No matter what the commercials tell you, everything is NOT on An- cestry. Even the great FamilySearch.org isn’t the only place to look. Noel Ferre & Lynnette Pendleton will show us many resources we may have neglected in our pursuit of family history information. Come and learn what you have been missing! Please REGISTER so we can be sure to have seating and handouts for everyone. Go to CRCGS. org to register, and remember to cancel if you can’t make it after all.
“CRCGS Monthly Program” - Saturday, August 18, 6:30-8:30 pm This talk will examine the types of information that can be gleaned from local newspapers – and often no place else. It contains a case study of my experience searching for my 4th great grandfather’s death. I will also talk about locating newspapers both online and on micro lm.
“Pre-K DNA” - Tuesday, August 21, 10am
Terry Hughes presents a basic look at DNA. Is DNA still a bit of a mystery to you? Are you just beginning to understand what it is all about? This is a great beginning to a clear understanding of what DNA testing can and cannot tell us as genealogists. Terry makes it less confusing with her simple examples. Register online.
