The Genealogical Forum of Oregon’s Open House is next week!

We have just added two new classes.

Also, we are pleased to announce viewing parties for most classes. You can easily make a day of attending a class, meeting GFO members in-person, and researching at the largest genealogical library in the northwest! All at no charge.
