SIG members will meet on Zoom to review and discuss family history writings submitted by members
This SIG meets the first Monday of the month from 2-4pm only via Zoom. The primary geographical areas are Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia and New Jersey. The SIG will focus on different research techniques members wish to share with each other, and how to help each other break down brick walls. Suggestions for other topics are welcomed and encouraged. The zoom link and any handouts will be sent to SIG members a few days before the meeting. Non-members who wish to attend should send an email to lkmcc@verizon.net at least 3-4 days before the meeting to receive the Zoom link and handouts. All FxGS members welcome!
Are you new to genealogy? Feel the need for a refresher on certain topics? Are you trying to figure out what to do with all the names and dates that you have gathered? Are you running into brick walls before you feel like you‘ve even gotten started? We can help! Led by Stephanie Glotfelty, a former co-editor of the FxGS newsletter, the Beginners’ SIG is a chance for novice genealogists to gather, learn, and share some of the challenges they are facing. Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. In even-numbered months, the meeting is on Zoom. Contact Stephanie at beginners@fxgs.org to get the Zoom link.
