FEBRUARY 6, 2023
Using County Histories as a Resource -- Kim Harrison 
Published county histories are a popular resource, but the researcher needs to understand their limitations as well as the rich clues they provided for the genealogist.  These clues may provide some of the best information on the local and county level -- tips about disasters, financial expansion, business, and the ethnic make-up of the community.  For Kim's bio, click here.
Club Topic of the Month:  Overview of the West Valley Genealogical Society -- Vicki Reisenfeld


MARCH 6, 2023
Genealogical Gems in Government Documents -- Janelle Breedveld & Brittany Styles 
Looking for information about your family tree? Government documents are an often-overlooked source of valuable information for genealogical research.  Learn how federal and state government documents can help you trace your heritage.  For Janelle's and Brittany's bios, click here.
Club Topic of the Month:  TBD

MAY 1, 2023
Genealogy Research OneNote (GRON) Workshop -- Vicki Reisenfeld
Vicki’s Genealogy Research OneNote Notebook (GRON) is a database containing a wealth of information about common genealogy topics, and is organized intuitively to facilitate finding your desired resources.  The database includes hundreds of “how-to” articles and links to free and subscription genealogy research websites, videos, podcasts, etc., and is organized to locate records by common types (census, military, vital records) and for foreign countries and all US states. The workshop will include:
  • A top-level refresher of the content of the Genealogy Research OneNote notebook​ and how it’s organized
  • How to find the desired information by browsing to the desired topic or using “Search” function
  • Real-time workshop to explore contained info using club member brick walls​
Vicki, our presenter, is club president and an experienced genealogist with subject matter expertise in GRON / OneNote.
Club Topic of the Month:  TBD


​JUNE 5, 2023
Error Proofing Your Tree Using Family Tree Analyzer Workshop -- Vicki Reisenfeld
Family Tree Analyzer is a free program that analyzes a GEDCOM file and “suggests” specific records that may be errors (i.e., potential duplicate ancestors, marriages at a very young age, children born after mother's death, etc.). The software also suggests missing records from outside genealogy databases. The information can be exported into a spreadsheet for easy review and filtering of like errors.  This will include a real-time workshop, so members will be asked to bring their laptops and a GEDCOM copy of their tree. We will provide directions on how to export a GEDCOM file during the May meeting.  Vicki, our presenter, is club president and an experienced genealogist who's had success using this program to discover errors in her tree.
Club Topic of the Month:  TBD
