SUMMARY:WMGS December Monthly Meeting: An Introduction to the Courthouse by Michael John Neill
DESCRIPTION:Now that we can get back to in-person research\, many of us will be heading to a courthouse to research our ancestors. Michael will present an overview of the records typically found in a county courthouse: land\, probate\, court\, and vital records. He’ll talk about the basics involved in courthouse research\, including how to prepare for a visit\, what you need to know before you make that trip\, what records you might find\, and what to expect from the courthouse and its staff.

SUMMARY:WMGS Virtual Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:We had so much fun at our virtual holiday party in 2021 that we’re going to host another one this year! \nAt that event\, we shared photos of our members sitting on Santa’s lap as children\, the tempting results of an annual sisters’ Christmas cookie bake-off\, and a vintage holiday jewelry collection\, among other items. We chatted about holiday traditions and hosted a genealogy trivia game that was so much fun! \nDo you have photos of family tree ornaments\, visits with Santa\, a decorated snowman\non the lawn\, or any of the gifts or toys that you received for the holidays? Whether you celebrate Christmas\, Hannukah\, or another winter holiday with your family and friends\, we hope that you will share some of your photos and memories with your fellow genealogists. \nSearch those boxes\, albums\, closets\, and your online collection for your holiday photos\, and send your scanned items to us. We’ll create a slide show for our party and enjoy reminiscing with each other. \nOur holiday party will also be a wonderful opportunity to share your family traditions and memories with us. Do you make a special recipe each year? Do you have a family  tradition that you’ve carried forward through the years? \nWe’ll also host another holiday trivia game to test your knowledge! \nBring your mug of hot chocolate\, hot mulled wine or cider\, or something stronger! Wear your holiday finest or your ugliest holiday sweater\, if you dare! \nPlease send your scanned photos to us at: westmassgen@gmail.com by Monday\,  December 11th and we’ll create a slideshow of your submissions.
