SUMMARY:WMGS December Monthly Meeting: Court Records Research Without the Law Degree
DESCRIPTION:Court records are an underutilized genealogical resource. While courthouses hold common records like marriage\, divorce\, naturalization\, and probate items\, you might be\nsurprised to find that your ancestor had a criminal record. Was he involved in a lawsuit or bankruptcy proceeding or something more sinister? \nAt our December monthly meeting\, Kate Townsend will present “Court Records Research Without the Law Degree.” Kate will explore the types of court records that might be available\, the various courts in which they might be found\, how to find them\, and what resources might be available to help you.

SUMMARY:WMGS Annual Virtual Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:We’re inviting all our members to join us at our genealogy-focused holiday Zoom party on Thursday\, December 19 at 7 p.m.! This will be our third virtual holiday party\, and it’s quickly becoming a much-enjoyed tradition. (Note: Dates changed for party & photo\nsubmissions.) \nJust like our first two fabulous virtual holiday events\, we’ll dive into several genealogy-related holiday topics to get the conversation flowing. We’ll share stories about holiday traditions\, favorite heirlooms\, cherished memories\, and take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane through local newspapers. \nOne of the highlights of our virtual parties is when members dig into their archives or family collections to share their holiday photos and traditions. Do you have a photo of yourself sitting on Santa’s lap? A picture of your family Christmas tree or a family holiday gathering? A favorite holiday photo from your childhood? \nSend in photos of your treasured holiday decorations or family heirlooms that you display every year. Any holiday-related photos can be submitted\, and we’ll create a slideshow of them for everyone to enjoy! \nAnd yes\, we’ll have another exciting holiday genealogy trivia game to challenge your\nknowledge! \nIt’s BYOB — hot chocolate\, hot mulled wine\, hot cider\, or something stronger if you’d like! Dress up in your holiday finery or your ugliest holiday sweater if you wish. Get ready to celebrate the holidays in a genealogical way. \nPlease send your photos to westmassgen@gmail.com by Friday\, December 13. We hope you’ll join us at this virtual event and get in the holiday spirit with us!
