• This is a meeting you do not want to miss! Test your genealogy knowledge and join in on the fun as we play a Genealogy Jeopardy game with our game show hostess Barb Winterfield!
• David Muraca, Director of Archaeology, will discuss the historical significance of Ferry Farm, the boyhood home of George Washington and how he spent his formative years and became an extraordinary man.
• Barb Winterfield will present, “Using Ancestry’s DNA results and tools to grow your family tree”. Though many Ancestry DNA matches cannot be traced to a particular family member, several can, and many others can be traced to a particular branch. Barb will show examples of how to use the tools provided by Ancestry, to help categorize, label, and locate where those DNA matches fit in the family. .This is a hybrid In-person/Zoom meeting. In person attendees will meet at the Yavapai Room at the Fountain Hills Community Center (across the street from the Post Office).
• Our own Katie Gertz will talk to us about "City Directories" and how we can use them in helping to track down our ancestors!
