The program at the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society will be a virtual presentation of "Navigating the Seven C's of Genealogy" with Thomas MacEntee. Do genealogy “resolutions” really work? How about setting genealogy “goals” or “themes” instead? Here is a developed a list of seven “themes” to guide you this year and hopefully you can institute these as general “rules to do genealogy by” over the next few years. The themes cover most areas of concern for every family historian, whether you’ve been at this for some time or you are just getting started. Participants will learn how to focus on seven key areas in genealogy research: Clean, Collect, Curate, Create, Connect, Conserve and Continue. For more information, visit the SVGS website. 

The Eastside Genealogical Society German Interest Group is hosting “Striking Gold: Using Cluster Research to Identify an Unknown Father” with Dana Palmer, CG, CGL.

Main St., Suite 105, Puyallup). To register, go to hqrl.com and go to HQRL Store.
