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.

SUMMARY:June Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to sign up for the “Pot Luck Dinner” during our May meeting because for our June meeting we will host not only a Pot Luck Dinner but an “Open Mic” Session too. So\, bring your favorite casserole or main dish\, a side dish\, or some sort of dessert\, and socialize with fellow genealogists searching for their family tree. Who knows\, you might even find a 5th – 9th cousin ‘X’ number of times removed; sort of like Dave Robison and Bruce Cortis (through Deacon Chapin of Springfield). After dinner\, members will have an opportunity to speak and share during our Open Mic session. Members are welcome to share genealogy information including ideas\, tips\, suggestions\, research experience\, and genealogy projects. If you have a new website to share\, a place to visit\, or a research success story\, please be sure to share it during our Open Mic session that’s how we all learn. Members are encouraged to bring a friend

SUMMARY:WMGS May Meeting
DESCRIPTION:In May\, we will be holding our 3rd Annual WMGS Panel of Experts! Have you ever had to pay a professional consultant? I can tell you first hand that it’s usually not an inexpensive proposition! Here’s another benefit of membership at Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society: You have free access to a number of pros and experienced researchers to help you break down your brick walls\, answer your research questions\, point you in the right direction and\, in general\, lend a hand with your family histories. From pedigree charts to on-line research to DNA\, WMGS can help you re-energize your research.  \nIn May\, the regular monthly meeting of WMGS will be not one\, and not two but three panelists who are willing to take your questions. Dave Robison will be joined by Fran Malone and Hillary Schau for this event. Put them on the spot! Responses won’t be limited to what the panelists can offer as members of the audience are welcome to join in the discussion. That’s what WMGS is all about\, helping each other identify the goals and how to get there! So\, bring your questions concerning problems you have or just a general question that you’ve been wondering what’s the answer. \nPlease come early and get a good seat. Our last panel discussion was very well attended and very productive! This will also be a virtual meeting available only to the membership. \nAlso at our May meeting\, we will be having our annual election of officers. The Nominating Committee will present the slate of candidates at the meeting.
