We will view a video presentation Reconstruct Your Ancestors’ World with Google by Lisa Louise Cooke. She presents various ways to use Google to research our ancestors.
There will not be an in person meeting tomorrow at the church since we do not have an in person speaker. Also due to a church function, the Family History Center will be closing early on March 11.
We will have a Zoom meeting this Saturday, February 11, beginning at 10 am. There will be a video about 10 Little Known Genealogy Websites and they are all free.
Our first meeting of 2023 will be an in-person meeting at the Church on Airport Road. This will be a meet and greet with no scheduled program. This will be an opportunity to meet with fellow genealogists that we may not have seen over the past year – maybe longer. We will have an informal discussion about our plans for CVGA for 2023.
Please plan to attend so we can get re-acquainted or meet in person for the first time and set out our plans for this year.
There will not be a December Central Virginia Genealogical Association meeting. Information will be posted to this website about further meetings, so please check back.
Any comments or suggestions for meetings can be emailed to cvgaboard@gmail.com.
Since October is Family History month, our meeting will be a “round table” discussion of what discoveries we have made in the past year, any brick walls resolved or what new methods have we learned that has helped in our research. Also what we hope to accomplish in the coming year.
Please join us for this discussion.

Being a good professional genealogist is more than just being able to do quality research. You have to know how to present it well in a research report to show your clients and others the reasoning behind the conclusions you made. Learning to write well increases the chances of getting a good job in the genealogical field and it also helps as you prepare for credentialing. This class will go over different methods for helping your research reports shine in order to showcase the quality of your research.
