This Monday, May 21st, is our next
Genies meeting. Every meeting is a great
chance to meet people that you can learn from.
Think about what you can share.
Ready to share a writing sample?
Have a tip about something others may not know? Have you found a website you that is helping
your search? Want to revisit a brick
wall? Need some help? Can’t wait to see you there.
If you want to attend a conference
without leaving home, may I suggest the Southern California Genealogical
Society Jamboree? They have live screening
with recording available until July 31. Six
DNA/genetics presentations for $99 and/or twelve genealogy presentations for
$55. Note that there are two different
links for these registrations. All the
details are at the end of this post and on our blog under the Events tab. http://www.ferndalegenies.blogspot.com
And don’t miss these upcoming events.
Who Do You Think You Are? TV series on
TLC starting May 21st.
A Time to Write: Monday, June 4 is the
next meeting of Loretta Willems’ group for people wanting to write their

Publishers group and spoke last month to the Ferndale Genies. Meetings are the 1st Monday of each
month 2:30-4:00. Contact Loretta Willems
