Upcoming Meeting Agendas:

April 16, 2013                        Family Search / Family Tree                                 Presented by Linda Lucky

Linda Lucky and her husband, Ed, are co-directors of the Regional Family History Center in Sacramento.  Linda is a seasoned genealogist and speaker.  She is extremely well versed in FamilySeach.org and is up on all the latest updates that have been happening with this site.  Be prepared for her to share her knowledge and understanding with us.

May 21, 2013                         Tour of the El Dorado County Museum and Research Room

Those of you who have been around a while will remember our last tour of the El Dorado County Museum and their delightful Research Room.  We are fortunate to have such a wonderful museum right at our doorstep.  It has excellent displays and the docents are very knowledgeable and informative.  As a double bonus for us genealogists, the museum has a research room that is packed with information on the county and the people who have lived here.  With the Courthouse burning in 1911, a lot of the research in El Dorado County has to be done via the “back door”, and the Research Room is literally a gold mine of information that will delight the heart of any genealogist.  We will have a sack luncheon in the garden area adjacent to the Museum before starting out tour.  This is a golden opportunity you won’t want to miss.

June 18, 2013                         E-Books: Google / Internet Archives                      Presented by Lynn Brown

It’s been a while since Lynn has come up and visited with us.  All of her presentations are a joy to listen to and are very informative.  We will let you know the topic shortly.

The 2013 schedule of programs is being completed at this time and we’ll post the rest of the monthly programs as soon as we confirm them.
