August 27, 2024 – The Fourth Wednesday Lunch & Learn will be held this coming Wednesday, August 28, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 611 North Davis St., Sulphur Springs, Tx. The Hopkins County Genealogical Society invites anyone who wants to learn more about doing genealogical research to come on in. Bring your sack lunch, salad or drive-through meal and your tablet or laptop, if you wish.
Last month our society president, John A. Sellers, presented the “FamilySearch Experiment,” during which he showed us how to maneuver through this new test site for FamilySearch, what it consists of and what is included. Much of his talk involved searching for people using property descriptions and land records, but how do you use them once you have found them? This month we will view a presentation by Amy Crow Johnson of Generations Connections, entitled “Understanding Land Records – Using Land Records Effectively.” There is so much to be learned about land deeds and other legal land documents and how to apply them to your genealogical research.
We hope you will join us!
