Last week I attended the second online Arizona Genealogy Day, and it was well worth the time. I know of at least one more club member who took advantage of this opportunity. Registration was required, but the classes were free. Think about attending if they continue for a third year.
J. Mark Lowe talked about locating migration routes to the western part of the country. His session was full of maps--many of them included migration trails in the east. He provided many suggestions for tracing ancestors who moved from the southeast to parts further west.
Colleen Robledo Green gave us an introduction to Mexican research. I had thought to skip this class, as I don't have ancestors there. But she was an excellent speaker and provided great information.
Brittany Styles and Janelle Breeveld collaborated on the topic of genealogy gems in government documents. Brittany covered the Arizona Archives collections, and Janelle spoke about federal documents.
Thomas MacEntee presented his genealogy do-over project: "a year of learning from my mistakes."
