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 for Monday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. in the Palm Room at Eagle’s Nest. The meeting host is Erik Riswick. Jayne Parise will show you how to be a better citation/source hunter by using what is available using Ancestry.com and Family Search. That’s right—you too can be a citation hunter. Hopefully you will come away with new tips for not just creating a family tree but verifying your family tree. Doesn’t everyone want to be the next Sherlock Holmes?
January 2023 meeting—what did you miss? Kathy Koch gave a presentation on how to use the Meyers Gazetteer. This site is very useful for genealogists interested in records online for the German Empire.
Upcoming on March 13, Debbie Branning will be giving a presentation on Historic and Haunted Cemeteries. This sounds eerily delightful for anyone researching their past. Please join us at 10 a.m.
The first hour of the meeting at 9 a.m.is dedicated to new tips and tricks in genealogy! Bring your laptop, tablet, or device to follow the tips that will be presented.
