How about a trip to Santa Barbara, California in January? Warm weather all the time — and genealogy for at least an hour.
Former Montrealer Marielle Bourgeois will deliver a presentation about Les Filles du roi at the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society’s monthly meeting on Saturday, January 17, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Ms. Bourgeois is a published writer, genealogist, lecturer, and researcher presently living in California. She gives presentations in English and French on topics of history and genealogy, in the US, Canada and Europe, and has spoken at an international genealogy conference in Paris. She has specialized in European (Western and Eastern), Canadian and American genealogy and history research for 30 years. She is also descended from a fille du roi.
As a researcher and award-winning writer, her articles have been published in various magazines, including Heritage Quest Magazine; Everton’s Family History Magazine; the American-Canadian Genealogist, Family Tree Magazine; Acadian Genealogy Exchange; History Magazine; Je Me Souviens; L’Ancêtre; Les Mémoires and Le Bourgeois; and on websites, such as Global Gazette.
The society’s meeting will take place at the First Presbyterian Church, 21 E. Constance Street. You do not need to be a member to attend this free presentation.
