We had 48 in attendance for our first meeting of 2016! A great start to the year... Wendy Carlson, director of our local Family History Center, gave examples of records that you might be able to find for your ancestors "From Cradle to Grave." She showed birth records, school records, military ideas, marriage registrations, passenger lists, newspaper articles, obituaries and probate papers.
So many attended that we ran out of handouts and club folders! Anyone who missed either will be able to pick them up at next week's workshop.
Wendy reminded us of the upcoming Pinal County Genealogy Workshop scheduled for January 23. Find the registration form and all information about speakers, topics and handouts at www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azpcg. One of the activities always suggested for genealogists is to attend workshops or conferences. This is a chance to attend classes and meet others who have an interest in family research.
