Virtual Social Drop-In
Are you missing the coffee time chat from our pre-COVID meetings? Need someone to bounce some research problem off of?
Anything goes – need a lookup done in our library, question about DNA matches, information on sources for an area you haven’t researched before. We can even talk about the weather, but genealogy is much more interesting. Register to attend online.
