Hello genealogists. It’s time for another meeting of UJGS. We will meet from 7-9pm on September 9th at the Family History Library in the main floor classroom.
I know a few new people have been added to our mailing list recently. Please visit our web site for directions to the free parking lot behind the museum.
We have two topics for our next meeting.
1. What did you learn at the IAJGS conference?
Did you meet anyone researching the same shtetl? Did you learn something new about available records? Was there a lecture about methodology that you can’t wait to try out on your own research? Or did you learn something about how the conference runs or maybe should be improved in the future? We want to know what you learned at the conference.
2. The future of UJGS.
You joined this society for a reason. What was it? What do you want to get from your society membership? Are we meeting your genealogical educational needs? Have we helped you with your research? Do we have a good variety of lectures that include topics of interest to you? (Think back to before we were engulfed in conference preparations for this one.) What educational opportunities do you want us to provide?
What do you think we should be doing going forward? And what would you be willing to volunteer to do for the society to help that happen?
Please bring your ideas to our meeting next week. See you then.
