Meeting Update March 8, 2025

Posted on by

We were going to have a zoom meeting this month but since RootsTech started today, March 6, and runs through Saturday, March 8,  please check out all of the free webinars (79 Friday and 60 Saturday) that are available pretty much any time of the day or night.  RootsTech is the largest genealogical conference held worldwide.  There are webinars available on numerous subjects ranging from beginner genealogy to artificial intelligence for genealogy.

Here is the website for RootsTech which is provided by FamilySearch.
Please take this opportunity to choose a genealogy subject that you want to know more about and take a free webinar or two or as many as your time allows.  If you watch a webinar that you would like to discuss at a future CVGA meeting, please email and let us know.
There will not be a meeting at the church or by zoom on March 8.

Mark Your Calendar!

Our meeting on March 12, 2022, will be at 10 am at the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (LDS Church).  It will be a hybrid meeting. You can attend in person at the Church or via Zoom.  As of today, the Church does require a mask so please plan to wear a mask if you attend the meeting in person. I will send out the Zoom information on Friday evening, March 11.

CVGA member, Diane Inman, will be doing a presentation called “Remembering the Fallen” which is about the World War II military personnel from our area who died during the War.
