The October meeting for NeWGS is coming up fast ….  this Wednesday, October 14^th, 2015. The morning Computer Interest Group (CIG) will meet in the basement meeting room of the LDS Church on Juniper Street in Colville at 10:30 AM. Sue Richart, a long-time member of NeWGS, will give us a “tour” of the newly updated New England Historic Genealogical Society website. If you think they only have New England records you will be pleasantly surprised at the diversity and range of records now available. Be sure to download the handout posted in our Members section under Secure Downloads, Computer Meeting Handouts, titled “NEHGS American Ancestors Website” (look for the “New” files at the bottom of the list).

We will take a 90 minute break for lunch and reconvene in the same location for our afternoon general meeting at 1:30 p.m.This afternoon session will focus on using the Internet to start searching a new-found ancestor with attendees participating in the process. This type of class has proven to be very informative and fun for the seasoned genealogist as well as the beginner.
