VIRTUAL SUNDAYS
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW,
WITH STEPHANIE O’CONNELL,
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2022,
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
The something new for this Virtual Sunday, coming up on October 16, 2020, is there will be a guest speaker!
Stephanie O’Connell, the speaker for this session, is a certified genealogist, a genealogy researcher, writer, lecturer, and SGS member. She began researching her ancestors in 2010 and soon discovered their family history story read like a scandal sheet. Stephanie earned the Certified Genealogy credential in 2021. She primarily focuses on Irish research and discovering European immigration stories.
Her presentation is titled “Done the Research? Look Again!” and you’ll learn how regularly reexamining your organized records may reveal discrepancies, affirm your reasoning, or spark new ideas for future research.
SGS members, don’t forget to show up a little early for the membership meeting that precedes Stephanie’s presentation :
