The first meeting of the Iroquois Genealogy Society for 2019 will occur:
When: March 14, 2019 at 6 pm
Where: Allegany Community Center MPR room on the Allegany Territory.
The meeting will introduce our new website: iroquoisgenealogysociety.org. The website is a wealth of genealogy resources such as documents, pictures and maps. We will be showing you how to navigate the site so that you can become familiar with it and refer to it when doing your research.
We will also have on hand; books that you can look at that will give you an idea what the book entails, handouts that you can take home to start documenting your family history/genealogy and a few maps. We will get you started in your research and then you can continue by finding out how your ancestors lived, where they went to school, how they dressed.
We hope to spark in you the interest in finding out more about your family history and celebrating their lives. It’s important as a people to learn about our ancestors to give us a sense of identity and to honor them.
Prior to our formal meeting we will have a potluck dinner (6-6:30pm). Please bring a dish to pass. Bring a friend, all are welcome!
Feel free to bring a laptop to follow along however, we will provide some written instructions for you to take home with you.
Please join us as we start another year of excitement with the Iroquois Genealogy Society!
