We all have to start somewhere, and the Beginners SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group for WHAGS members who aren't experts (yet) to meet, discuss, and learn about the basics of genealogy and building your family tree. 

    Each month we'll cover a different topic and talk about it in easy-to-digest terms and language... even DNA!  Topics planned now include, Getting Started, DNA, Organizing All My Stuff, Organizing Digital Records, Genealogy Websites such as Ancestry.com, Find-a-Grave, and WikiTree, and more.

    Each month will also include an open Q&A session to help you with your beginners questions.

​

Next meeting:  Tuesday, November 18th, 10:00 am, via Zoom.

​​​​​​

​​​​November topic:  Organizing Your "Stuff"   Join us as Jeanie Smith helps us deal with all the "stuff" that tends to accumulate. Documents, letters, mementos, heirlooms, and such. Getting it organized, protected and preserved is critical to it being there for both yourself and future generations.
