SUMMARY:WMGS April Training Session: Lineage Societies
DESCRIPTION:Thinking about joining a lineage society? You won’t want to miss our April training session! \nLineage societies help us connect with our heritage. Through societies\, we can honor\nancestors by preserving family histories and traditions. Societies can also offer access to valuable genealogical resources and a strong sense of community. \nAt this session\, WMGS member Philip Johnson will tell us more about lineage societies\, why they matter\, and what they offer to genealogists and history enthusiasts. \nHe’ll also outline the different types of societies and walk us through the typical\nmembership requirements and application processes.

SUMMARY:WMGS May Monthly Meeting - Friend or Foe: Researching  Colonial Ancestors During the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:At our May 6 monthly meeting\, noted genealogist David Allen Lambert will present Friend or Foe: Researching Colonial Ancestors During the American Revolution \nto our society. \nNearly 250 years ago\, America declared its independence from the British Empire\, changing the course of history. While many took up the cause and supported revolution\,\nothers remained loyal to the British government — turning friends into foes and pitting neighbor against neighbor. David will discuss how to research your colonial ancestors and determine if — and how — they may have served the cause of the American Revolution.
