RESOURCE CORNERS are held occasionally, on the fourth Saturday of some months from 9:30 to 11:00. These classes are designed to allow an in-depth look at an area of genealogical research. One of our members generally leads the discussion, and participants are encouraged to bring their own experiences, questions and problems related to the topic.
