GENEALOGY INTEREST GROUPS
Genealogy Interest Groups are society members who come together with a common interest. There are nationality groups - they share information and research tips and study together to find their ancestors. In addition, there are other groups that focus on a specific topic. Society membership is required for continued attendance but visitors are always welcome.
The groups meet as follows:
DNA GIG led by Janet Hunter, meets the third Thursday from 2 - 3:30
