PGS Events for the week of 19 Aug 2023

 

Saturday, 19 Aug 2023 at 11:00 m Program Meeting Don't Make Your Descendants Research You. As genealogists, many of us focus all our time and energy on research and collecting data about our ancestors and neglect to record our own lives. This forces our descendants to research us! But there’s a better way. Give the generations that come after you the gift of your life story with the details research can’t provide. Be inspired and guided in writing your life story in this hands-on workshop that shows you how fun it can be to walk down memory lane and write the story only you can. After all, the only way to do this wrong is to not do it at all! This free Summer Workshop is hands on training for up to two hours. You are welcome to bring and eat your lunch as you write your story. Charpentier Two hours, hands on. Hybrid, In-person and on Zoom. Register using the button at the right. Register
