Meetings are usually held on the third Saturday at 2:00 pm in the Athens-Clarke County Public Library auditorium, but variations in this schedule are not uncommon. Meetings are announced in the COGS Quarterly, via email, and at this web site on the Meetings page. Although most meetings are free and open to the public, membership is encouraged to enable C.O.G.S. to bring in quality speakers that will help further our understanding as family history researchers. Dues are also used to purchase resources for local libraries and offset costs to preserve historical data.

May 2012

Did the Man Really Have Four Wives?

Presenter: Robert A. Sapp, former President of the Georgia Society of the Sons of American Revolution
Date: Saturday, May 19, 2012
Time: 2:00 pm

Cost: free and open to the public

Location: Oconee County Library in Watkinsville

Robert A. “Bob” Sapp, former president of the Georgia Society of Sons of the American Revolution (2011-2012) will share a case study following the Genealogical Proof Standard. When confronted with conflicting records or the lack of records for your ancestor, how do you know what is true? The Genealogical Proof Method helps family history researchers determine reasonable conclusions. Join us at our May meeting as Bob Sapp guides us through the process.

Co-sponsored by the Clarke-Oconee Genealogical Society, Oconee Library, and the Athens-Clarke County Library Heritage Room
