Our season starts this week with our first speaker, Wendy Carlson, director of the local Family History Center. Her presentation is titled "From Cradle to Grave," and she will give us many examples of the records generated by a person from birth to death.
Wendy will also provide a brief overview of the resources available at our Casa Grande Family History Center. Since the Mesa facility is many months from reopening, we should all take advantage of our local center.
We are planning a field trip to the Family History Center January 15. Plan to join us if you can; you will be surprised at the many subscription websites that you can access on their computers and the number of family history books in the library.
During the January workshops (Jan. 12 & Jan. 26) we'll be providing help with the Legacy software program. Whether you are already using this program or are considering a purchase, the presentations should be useful. We will continue to help beginners during these workshops and also assist in any way we can with internet research and/or brick wall problems.
Our second speaker this month (January 19) is Trish Kelly with her "DNA Revisited" topic. Trish gave us a brief talk on DNA at a workshop in February 2014, and she has refined and added to that presentation.
