Growing Your Family Tree, One Leaf at a Time
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the next meeting of the Genealogy Club has been cancelled. However, we have set up a Facebook Group for the club and will be communicating online. Hopefully we can be active and talk with each other virtually since we can’t get together in person at this time.
If you are interested in joining our Genealogy Club, just send me a message at novygenealogy@gmail.com and I will send you an invite!
I’ve been thinking about why you would want to join the Genealogy Club and I came up with several reasons.
We held our first Genealogy Club meeting this past week and had a wonderful time. We had fourteen people in attendance. We introduced our selves shared stories, and talked about what the we would like to do.
The group set a regular meeting date and time. We will meet on the first Monday of each month, at 6:00 p.m. at the Montgomery Museum (300 S. Pepper St., Christiansburg)
Next month’s meeting will be on April 6th. Please bring a list of the surnames you are researching as well as their locations. We are hoping we can all help each other!
Whether you are a beginning genealogist or an expert, you are welcome. I hope to see you next month!
I ran across some information about a 24-hour genealogy webinar marathon this week and wanted to share it with others who might be interested. My Heritage is hosting the event and it will be featured on Legacy Family Tree Webinars.
The marathon will begin on Thursday, March 12 at 5 p.m. Eastern time and end on Friday, March 13 at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Each of the 24 lectures will be 45 minutes long and will include another 10 minutes for questions at the end. The schedule of lectures can be found at https://abundantgenealogy.com/24-hour-genealogy-webinar-marathon/
I may not attend EVERY webinar, but at least 15 of them look like they will be of interest to me.
And one of the best things about it…it is FREE!
If you can’t make it on the 12th and 13th, all of the webinars will be available for free for a week after the event.

Date: Thursday, March 5
Time: 6:00-7:30 p.m

Come join me as we go in-depth with a variety of strategies and tips to help you when research gets hard. You will learn methods for searching when your initial search comes up blank, ways to look at your existing research to create a new research plan, and strategies to help you break through your brick walls (or at least chip away at them).
Hope to see you there!
