The PebbleCreek Genealogy Club (PCGC) next meets on Monday, May 12 from 9 a.m. to noon.
PCGC meets the second Monday of each month in the Palm Room in the Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse. Meetings start at 9 a.m. with a short business meeting, followed by an invited speaker with the remaining time devoted to “Tips and Tricks” from members, networking, and sharing of research. Guests are always welcome!
The May 12 program will feature Goodyear Librarian Robert Wilson on “Genealogy Resources at the Goodyear Library.” Come and hear about what is available to help with your family research in our own backyard.
On June 9, Kori Tueller from the Arizona State Archive and Public Records will be our speaker. The State Archives collects, preserves, and makes available to the public and all branches of government permanent public records, historical manuscripts, photographs, and other materials that contribute to the understanding of Arizona history. The Records Management Center administers the management of public records throughout state and local government in Arizona. Don’t miss this presentation on using this tremendous resource. See azlibrary.gov/branches/archives-records-management for more information.
What Did You Miss?
* On April 10 PCGC visited the Irish Cultural Center and McLelland Library in Phoenix. The center provides resources and assistance with Irish genealogy research. They hold workshops, classes, and seminars to assist with tracing Irish ancestry. As described on their website, the library is “dedicated to the legacy of Irish authors, history, literature, and research of a Celtic nature.” Members were excited to learn about this robust local resource and how it would aid in their research. To learn more about the library, see.azirish.org/research/mcclelland-library-search.
* On April 14, Denise Beeson presented “Genealogy Research Using Cemetery Records.” The “Tips and Tricks” presentation was “Using Interment.net to Search Cemetery Records” by Vicky Ferraresi.
Members are enjoying our monthly luncheons; they are a great opportunity to get to know one another and discuss genealogy and more. Members should keep an eye out for an email regarding dates and locations.
Visit our website at pebblecreekgenealogy.club for more information about PCGC and our special programs such as Genealogy Detectives. General information is open to all site visitors with additional content (including Genealogy Detectives) available to members only. This is another member benefit and another great reason to join PCGC.
Hope to see you on May 12 as we learn more about discovering our families!
