September 22, 2024 – The Fourth Wednesday Lunch & Learn will be held this coming Wednesday, September 25, 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 we viewed a presentation by Amy Crow Johnson of Generations Connections, entitled “Understanding Land Records – Using Land Records Effectively.” We learned a lot about land deeds and other legal land documents and how to apply them to our genealogical research.
However, the past few weeks we have been consistently asked questions about creating and managing a family tree on familysearch.org, which is the website that allows you to do that for free. Plus there appears to be some confusion about how to interpret the Generation Genealogy Fan Chart. So this month we are going to see a virtual presentation on how to create a family tree and how to read a fan chart. We are particularly excited about this month’s lessons because they answer so many of our questions about our family trees.
We hope you will take the time to join us!
