Virtual Beginning Genealogy Class November 14, 2020

I am teaching a Beginning Genealogy class with the Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS). With COVID-19 currently changing plans almost everywhere, this class will be virtual. This means online only, and anyone anywhere can attend this class on your computer!

This class will be on November 14, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Pacific Time.

Details to register are not yet finalized, but check back in early November to register and attend.

You can also check out my Events page at Story Finder to find out more.

Beginning Genealogy Class is Cancelled

The Beginning Genealogy Class scheduled for May 9 has been cancelled.

Los Angeles County has extended their Safer At Home orders through May 15.

Also, the SCGS Library extends their closure through the end of May.

Stay safe, Stay at home.

Stay at Home Research

I find that I have more time to do my own genealogy research at home! Some companies are offering discounts for memberships, or other possibilities.

Ancestry is offering free at home learning opportunities for kids (and others young at heart) to learn about genealogy.

FamilySearch has always been free, the only requirement is to create a free online account.

Newspapers.com, owned by Ancestry, is offering discounts for membership.

There are others out there; I am getting emails from various places that I have a membership with about discounts on other programs or products, including MyHeritage, American Ancestors, and more, that are specific to subscribers that already have a membership. Check your inbox.

Have fun, stay at home, stay safe.
