SUMMARY:WMGS July Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Important Note: Our July meeting will be held one week later on July 11th at 6 PM at the Agawam Senior Center due to the July 4th holiday closure.\n\nSkills Night Sharing Event\n\n\nPerhaps you’re just beginning work on your family genealogy\, maybe you’ve been working on it over the years when time allows\, or maybe you’re a seasoned veteran trying to put the finishing touches on your family history. Well\, we’re betting that everyone will enjoy this evening!\n\nWe’re working on plans for a Skills Night featuring displays of genealogy tools and tips and special interest discussion groups. Some of the ideas we are hoping to showcase include photo scanning and organization tools\, ways to record family memories\, software program comparisons\, and ways to find hidden records and more on Family Search and Ancestry. Besides that\, attendees will have an opportunity to have a personal consultation about their research problems with one of our own professional genealogists\, our own version of\n“Ancestors Roadshow”.\n\n\n\nOur July meeting will be informal with attendees being able to freely move around stations to check out the displays and join special interest groups. And\, we’ll have a sign-up sheet for personal consultations.\n\nWe’re still working on plans for the event and more details will be coming in our next newsletter. We welcome our many multi-talented members to pitch in and to share their knowledge as well. So\, if you have a topic that you’d like to facilitate for the discussion groups or would like to have a display of genealogy tools and tricks\, or have something else that you’d like to share\, please let us know at westmassgen@gmail.com

SUMMARY:WMGS November Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our November 1st meeting features Dr. Shelley Murphy with a presentation entitled “Timeline’s You gotta do one!” Timelines are a critical strategy that most genealogists and the family historians do not use. Why is that? Is it too time consuming or the lack of knowledge on how to set one up? This webinar will provide an overview and challenge you about the benefits of timelines by taking you step-by-step on how to set a timeline up and use it to further your genealogy research. \nShelley Murphy is a native of Michigan residing in Central Virginia\, and has been an avid genealogist for 25+ years. She is a Coordinator and Faculty for the Midwest African American Genealogy Institute (MAAGI) and presents genealogy workshops at the local state & national genealogy conferences. \nShelley’s blog is familytreegirl.com and has publications with the Central Virginia Heritage\, a publication of the Central Virginia Genealogical Association. She holds membership with NGS\, APG\, AAHGS\, and is the membership chair for the DAR Jack Jouett Chapter in Charlottesville.
