SUMMARY:WMGS' 50th Anniversary Virtual Celebration
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 50 years since Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society\, Inc. was founded!\nWe’re looking forward to celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of our society with our members. We are thankful for the work begun by our Founders and proud of all that WMGS has become through the efforts of those who followed. From the beginning\, WMGS has been devoted to helping others discover their ancestors and preserve their stories. We can proudly say that we have stayed true to our mission for over 5 decades!\nOur 50th anniversary committee will host a virtual celebration where we share the story of our society\, from its humble beginnings to the present. As the field of genealogy has changed over the past 50 years\, so has our society. We’ll share a timeline of how WMGS has developed over the decades to become the wonderful and well-respected organization it is today. We’ll be sharing photos\, memorabilia\, historical material\, and more\, as we tell the story of WMGS through the years.\nPlease join us on Wednesday\, June 1st at 6 p.m.\, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary and toast to the future of WMGS!

SUMMARY:Share Your Ancestor's Story
DESCRIPTION:Our June training session will be a chance for members to share a story and research about an ancestor whose past was intriguing\, criminal\, or unusual.\nHave you discovered a famous or infamous ancestor in your family? Or perhaps you’ve found an offbeat ancestor or someone with an unusual occupation. Have you been able to prove or disprove a family myth through your research? We’d love to hear about your discoveries!\nHave you discovered that your ancestor was a cowboy\, a madam (ahem…)\,or a criminal? Perhaps they were murdered? Or perhaps you’ve found an ancestor who was an inventor\, a tycoon\, a member of royalty\, or a hero. We’ve all found an ancestor who’s surprised us!\nShort (5 minutes or so) presentations about your ancestor and research will be combined with others from WMGS members for discussion and Q & A. \nThis will be an informal event\, so it isn’t necessary to provide tons of background information\, research documentation\, or other material about your ancestor or your research. We’re planning for this event to be fun and interactive\, so we hope you’ll consider telling us about your ancestor!\nIf you’d like to share photos\, scanned documents\, or other digital material along with your story\, you can send the items to us at westmassgen@gmail.com and we’ll have them ready to share on the screen.
