The Genealogy Club’s mission is to educate and support the members of the PebbleCreek (PC) genealogy community in genealogical research, including computer databases, offline records, and source documentation.
Please join us live in the Palm Room on the second Monday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon. All PC residents interested in genealogy at whatever level are welcome to join us. We have Special Interest Group meetings as well as presentations.
Presentations
* Mark your Calendar: Jan. 9, Monday, 10 a.m. in the Palm Room (EN), meeting host Larry Johnson. Kathy Koch will present on the Meyers Gazetteer (www.meyersgaz.org). For those genealogists interested in records online for the German Empire and other locations in Eastern Europe, this may be very interesting!
* December meeting 2022—What did you miss? DNA genealogist Bonnie Belza helped solve the HATBOX mystery, an old cold case in AZ! Her insight using genetic genealogy was fascinating and helpful in solving our own genetic genealogy puzzles!
* Upcoming on Feb. 13, Jayne Parise will assist us with understanding how to find, interpret, and create citations (sources) to validate our genealogy facts! Please join us at 10 a.m.
The first hour of the meeting is dedicated to new tips and tricks in genealogy! Bring your laptop, tablet, or device to follow the tips that will be presented.
