October Events

October Events:  Not to be missed.  Ferndale Genies and/or the Blaine Genealogy Class weekly starting Oct. 10.  Both are great for anyone wanting to make some progress in their family history.  The Family History Conference in Surrey on October 14 is another free all-day event with lots of choices.  Event info is always available on the Ferndale Genies blog under the Events tab on the top menu bar.  Also I am including online events for those following us from afar.  

Featured:   Ferndale Genies Monthly Meeting:  Join us Monday, October 16 at 1:00-3:30 at the Ferndale Library.  After a very successful September meeting where everyone paired up in 2's and 3's, we'll do it again.  Do you have a genealogy problem or do you want to learn something?  We will be working on genealogy and technical skills.  Another possibility is for you to write up all the details of your problem and we'll put the group to work on it.  Come prepared with a computing device or plans to borrow one.  And passwords, of course.  

Next meeting November 20.

Whatcom Genealogical Society:    Whatcom Genealogical Society will meet Monday, Oct. 9, 2017 at 2:00 pm at the Bellingham Elks Lodge, 710 Samish Way, Bellingham WA.
 October 9th – Claudia Breland, “Beyond Outlander – Discovering Your British, Scottish, and Irish Ancestors”
November 13th – Jill Morelli, “Changes at Family Search”
Visitors welcome! Contact: 360-733-8300
Park around back and enter on the lower level (unless you have a big truck or an RV).

New Blaine Genealogy Class.  Great for beginners.  Sharon Neem, a long-time Whatcom Gen Society member, will be starting up her Genealogy Class again at the Blaine Senior Center. It meets every Tues. from 10:30 – 11:30 am starting Oct. 10.  They would enjoy having anyone interested join them.  The classes are free, but you have to join the Blaine Senior Center to participate.
