2023-03-28 14:00 - 16:00
Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at 2 PM Eastern –virtual via ZOOM
Subject: “What should be done to preserve your Genealogical research and Legacy after you are gone?”
(In-person program presently under development. We will advise more details shortly)
We are a group of volunteer members of the Genealogical Society of Collier County (GSCC) who share a special interest in all aspects of Canadian genealogy. This group operates primarily on the internet. We meet on the third Thursday of the month from 1:30 pm to 3 pm via ZOOM. Our meetings are scheduled from September through November and January through May. There are no meetings in December or from June through August.
In addition to ZOOM meeting presentations, we conduct periodic genealogical round-tables discussing research to help you find answers. All participants have a chance to speak about their research, their stonewalls, and perhaps most importantly, what has been found to be helpful.
If you are interested in this Canadian eSIG you may contact us through our “about” page and we will add you to our email list and provide an invitation to our next zoom get-together.
