• This will be a Hybrid Zoom/In-Person Meeting. In-person will be held at the Yavapai room at the Fountain Hills Community Center. This month we will be playing a game we call "Family Tree Feud". We will break into teams, ask questions, discuss the answers, and maybe learn something along the way. We'll also open the floor to people to discuss how they have been doing their genealogy over the last year and a half and if they have recommendations for other members. We look forward to seeing you.
• Thomas McEntee will provide some insight on how to preserve your research in "After You're Gone: Future Proofing Your Genealogy Research" presentation
• Amber Oldenburg presenting: "Land for the Landless: Homestead Records and How to Use them in Your Research" .The Homestead Act of 1862 opened millions of acres of land for settlement across 30 states. Interested individuals needed to meet certain criteria before the land could gain title to this land. The records created from this process are often overlooked by many family historians. This session will help you understand the wealth of knowledge that can be found in these valuable records. .
• Sue Clark will present "Ellis Island"
• Holiday Party! Come share holiday stories! All are welcome to attend!
• Suzanne Brayer will present: "Probate, What a Treasure."
