The Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society is sponsoring a genealogical murder mystery book discussion on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 3:30 p.m. This month's book is "Snoqualmie Bound," the fourth book in the Home to Beulah series by Claudia Breland.

The Italian Interest Group, Eastside Gen Soc, is sponsoring “Staying Behind in Italy during the Age of Mass Migration - Everyday Life for Our Ancestors in Italy” with Victoria Calabrese. This presentation will discuss daily life in Italy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the period of mass emigration. The presentation will include information about home life, economics, society, gender roles, the emigration process, and what life was like for those who remained behind. This presentation gives a fuller perspective of the migration process, including not just those who migrated, but including those who never migrated, showing how their lives were affected just as much as those migrating.

The program at the Olympia Genealogical Society's meeting is "Researching American Indian Ancestry" with Billie Stone Fogarty. A link to the 7:00 pm Zoom meeting (starts at 6:30 pm for social time) will be posted here on the day of the meeting. Non-members are welcome to attend.
