Virtual Meeting
April 20 – Karen Fortin
Topic:
Skeletons in the Family Closet: Dealing with the Unexpected
We all find scandals, scalawags, and other
surprises in the course of our genealogical research. This presentation
explores some of the unexpected, and sometimes unsavory, facts that may
arise and ethical considerations to keep in mind when deciding how to
share them.
Virtual Meeting
May 18 – Lori Coffey
Topic: The Women of 1776
Lori will introduce us to specific women of this period and also delve
into other women and enterprise,
medicine, and opportunities of the times.
Virtual Meeting
September
21 – Carol Rooksby Weidlich
Topic:
Wiki, Wiki, What? Using Wikis for
Genealogical Research
Sometimes you need a little help in where to find
information about how to research, and where that information is
located, without leaving your home. Learn what a Wiki is, where to find
online Wikis and how to use in your genealogical research.

Topic:
Where the Records Are: There’s a Document
Waiting for You! Additional online resources are available
to those who are researching their Family Tree - the State Archives.

treasures that can be found in these archives, and the resources
available at Historical/Genealogical Societies.
November

Saving a Life:
Your Family’s Heath History
For many years, health professionals have
known that many common health problems run in families. The more you
know about your family health history, the more you can do to reduce
your risk of serious illness. As genealogists and family historians we
routinely collect information about our ancestors and the causes of
their deaths but putting the information together in a documented health
history can not only assist your physician, but may save your life.
Passing this information to your children or other family members may
also provide them with life saving information.
