FHSA is partnering with the SAR in an exciting collaborative project involving the digitization of SAR records through FamilySearch, with a goal to complete this significant initiative by 2026. Mark Davis will outline specific volunteer roles and responsibilities, explaining how new volunteers can contribute to the success and timely completion of this historic endeavor.
Mark, a long-time genealogist and Family History Society of Arizona (FHSA) member, will share insights into the history and functionality of the Patriot Research System (PRS). As an Administrator for the SAR’s PRS application and former Registrar of the Saguaro Chapter (which serves communities west of Phoenix), Mark brings extensive experience to this project.
Volunteers interested in genealogy, historical research, or digitization efforts are encouraged to join this meaningful initiative, helping preserve our national heritage for future generations.

Monday, August 4
(SIGs)
6:30 pm to 7:30 pm Zoom Meeting
Organization Support
(Members Only)
A common problem for many genealogists is the volume of paper, digital files, photographs, and memorabilia that we accumulate in our quest to discover our family history. There are lots of books, lectures, Facebook pages, etc., with suggestions for getting our family history organized. Getting organized (or any big project) is often compared to eating an elephant. But eating alone can be lonely. In the FHSA Organization Support SIG we will eat the elephant together. We will discuss SMART goals and action plans, organization ideas, steps to take to organize, preserve, and share what we have done, challenges we face, and possible solutions. We will encourage each other and celebrate our successes. Together we can make progress toward our goal of being organized family historians.
Host: Janet Keating McNaughton.
