SUMMARY:WMGS July Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our July meeting will be a presentation entitled “Paleography – Reading Old Handwriting” by Edwin Strickland. Paleography is the study of ancient writing systems and\, in genealogy\, it is an essential skill to have in order to accurately read the cursive handwriting encountered in many of the older primary documents. Edwin presented on several topics at the recent NERGC conference in Springfield including a two-hour hands-on workshop on this topic. \nEdwin is a self-taught genealogist with over 40 years’ experience. He is a Past President and a Governor of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists; charter member of the Descendants of the Founders of Ancient Windsor\, having served as President and as Genealogist for nearly 30 years; charter member of the Connecticut Professional Genealogist Council where he is a consultant for the Ancestors Road Show and current Vice-President.

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.

SUMMARY:WMGS April Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our meeting in April will be a presentation by Steve Hartwell entitled “Building a Custom Website for your Family History”  \nPedigree charts may be an interesting way to share our genealogy\, but what about the “rest of the story” – our family letters\, photographs\, heirlooms\, tales\, etc.? How can we share our ancestral stories online with everyone in our extended family? Learn how to bring your stories to life by using an easy building-block approach to create a custom website. You will see techniques and examples to give you ideas on how best to showcase your own family history. \nSteve Hartwell lives in North Reading\, Massachusetts\, and has been researching his family for over 30 years. He retired from a long career at IBM in 2014 and has since become a professional genealogist specializing in both ancestral research\, particularly in New England\, and custom website design. Steve is a graduate of the Boston University Genealogical Research Certificate Program  and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy\, and is a board member of the Society of Essex Genealogists. His website can be found at shartwell.com/services. \n

Colleen is featured as The DNA Detective in More Magazine\, May 2010\, is a former nuclear physicist who had designed equipment for NASA to use in its Jupiter projects.
