We all have to start somewhere, and the Beginners SIG (Special Interest Group) is a new 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, Software Packages, Genealogy Websites such as Ancestry.com and Find-a-Grave, Archives and Libraries, and more.

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

​

Next meeting:  Tuesday, May 21st, 10:00 am, via Zoom.

May topic:  Wikitree​.  Join us for a presentation covering the Wikitree website, led by guest Eowyn Walker, Community Manager for Wikitree.  Eowyn will give us a tour of this free, single-tree, collaborative website that many are unfamiliar with, but all should visit and explore.
