2025 January President’s Letter
Happy New Year! As we look forward to the new year, one of our typical activities is making promises to ourselves and perhaps others, that we will start an exercise program, get organized, eat healthier foods, lose weight, downsize all the stuff we keep accumulating, and a myriad of other things. According to recent polls, getting healthier-related goals are more prevalent than others.
As we are about genealogy, the resolutions that I want to address for the coming year are related to family history activities. Many of us (myself included) keep accumulating photos, papers, records, newspaper articles, artifacts, and on and on. If you need help getting the motivation to get all the information into your computer or onto your online tree or sharing with others or getting everything more organized, the Family History Society of Arizona has all the tools you need.
We have our monthly meetings with knowledgeable speakers that talk on a variety of subjects. Those meetings both in person and on Zoom are open to ALL with or without an FHSA membership.
We have a Special Interest Group (SIG) that will help you get organized. We have a SIG for both Legacy Family Tree and Family Tree Maker software. We have a SIG for genealogical methods looking at various topics to help you with your research. We have a new SIG starting this year to help you organize the research you've already done. And we have SIG to help you navigate the FamilySearch website to find records for your family tree.
The Special Interest Group attendance is for members only, but our membership cost remains the same as it’s been for over 25 years!! In these times when the price of simply everything goes up every year, we remain the best bargain in town.
So please join us this year to help you along your journey to remember those who came before and paved the road for you.
Katie Gertz
FHSA President
