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.
