The PebbleCreek Genealogy Club’s (PCGC) next meeting will be on Monday, Aug. 10, from 9 a.m. to noon. PCGC meets the second Monday of each month in the Palm Room in the Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse from 9 a.m. to noon. Guests are always welcome!
Coming Up: We will suspend our regular meeting format to hold another hands-on workshop this month, open to the entire PebbleCreek Community, ”Getting Started in Genealogy.” Intended for those who have never done genealogy, this workshop will get you started. Bring your laptop and a genealogical question that you want to start working on.
Continuing the celebration of America’s 250th birthday, Denise Beeson will present “Early American Migration: Why Did They Come?” on Sept. 14. We’re looking forward to hearing about our early American ancestors.
The Program Committee, under the leadership of Donna Paine, continues to plan the 2027 program and welcomes ideas for topics and speakers. The Field Trip Subcommittee has planned an Oct. 10 outing to the West Valley Genealogical Society.
Board of Directors Update. The club bylaws review is complete and the recommended changes with rationale were sent to the members and are posted on the members only section of the website. Members are encouraged to review them in advance of our vote for approval at the September meeting.
On the social front, the monthly lunches continue through the summer. Our Mahjong Group is having great fun as more members join in to play this friendly game. We had a summer social on July 2 in lieu of the lunch. Fifteen members decked out in red, white, and blue enjoyed hot dogs and an international potluck at the home of Sally and Dan Sullivan. A good time was had by all!
What Did You Miss? Unfortunately, we had to postpone our planned July 13 workshop, ”AI 101: Getting Started.” Instead, we had a great update on everything on FamilySearch by Kevin Campbell.
Genealogy Detectives can assist members on starting their research or help when they are “stuck.” Sometimes it is just a matter of getting organized or getting assistance on where or how to start searching for your family. Genealogy Detectives can help jump-start your search. This is a member-only benefit and is a great reason to join PCGC.
Visit our website at pebblecreekgenealogy.club for more information about PCGC. 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 as we learn more about discovering our families!
