Upcoming Meeting: Open to the Public

Saturday, September 12 – The Bucket List: Sorting Your DNA Matches Debbie Wilson Smyth

See *Calendar of Meetings & Events* for other scheduled events/meetings.  No Monthly Meeting scheduled for July or August. Next monthly meeting will be Sept. 12.  Details will be in the member newsletters and posted on this page.

MONTHLY MEETINGS  are held on the SECOND SATURDAY of most months, beginning at 10:00. Social time begins at 9:30. Monthly meetings are usually held at the Tri-Area Community Center (10 W Valley Rd, Chimacum).  Some meetings will be hybrid meetings (Zoom and in-person). If you want to attend on Zoom when it is an option, registration will be REQUIRED. Members are emailed Zoom invitations with instructions for registration. 

For Members Only

RESOURCE CORNERS are held 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. Resource Corner formats (in-person, via Zoom, hybrid) will depend on the presentation.

Upcoming Resource Corner
