Three Picks for April, Just Around the Corner

Here are my top Picks for April:

Number 1:  Don’t miss our Ferndale Genies meeting on Monday, April 15.  Our March meeting was one of our best with lots of technology and DNA tips.  April promises to be the same.

Number 2:  Beginners, pay attention!  The Whatcom Genealogical Society meeting this month is on Monday, April 8: “Basic Genealogy with Janet O’Connor Camarata”.  Janet is a great speaker and excellent with technology.  Bring your questions too.  And while you are there, join the group.  Annual dues are only $15.  It’s a friendly group and everyone is welcome.

WGS meets at 2:00 at the Elks Lodge, 710 S. Samish Way on the way to Lake Padden.  It’s only a short way on the right side coming from the Samish Way exit.  Drive around back and enter on the ground level.

Number 3:  Well, this pick isn’t until August, but register by April 15 for early bird pricing. 

We are so fortunate to have an outstanding conference with nationally-known speakers right in our backyard.  Some people even commute to this conference.  No live streaming and no videos.  You have to go in person and you will have a great time. 

Northwest Genealogy Conference:   Arlington, WA

Free Beginning Genealogy with Thomas MacEntee, Wednesday, August 14, 1:00 PM to 4:30.  Bring a device; laptop if possible.  Researchers at all levels will benefit. 

Thursday, August 15-Saturday, August 17.  Three full days with featured speakers Angie Bush (DNA), Michael Strauss (Colonial, Civil and WWII Ancestors), and Thomas MacEntee (Technology and Traditional Research).  Two other class selections each day.
