Our Community Groups
Climbing Your Family Tree
Genealogy is a hobby
that can last a lifetime. It can be done
from home, at family reunions or on trips visiting places you or your family
used to live. Beginners will learn how to
get started, how to record and document your finds, and some of the pitfalls to
avoid. People already searching for ancestors can share their sources and
tips and discuss their "brick walls".
Hosted by Chris Eddy
When: First Wednesday each month
Time: 1:00PM - 3:00PM
Location: East Woods Church, Maple Room

Please email us to receive location for our next event.
