This month’s meeting will start at 1:00 with the talk by Dan Poffenberger, a senior British and Irish research specialist for the Family History Library on researching your Irish ancestors. This portion of the meeting will also be available by Zoom if you are not able to attend in person.

After Dan’s talk we will have our regular business meeting, including voting for next year’s officers and the proposed revisions to our club bylaws. Members must be in attendance at the meeting to vote.

March 2024 Meeting Minutes

Posted on 21 Mar, 2024 by Sun City Vistoso Genealogical Society

Note to Genealogy Club members:

Last week you should have received an email with the proposed Bylaws changes. If you did not see it, they are posted here in the Bylaws tab.

If you did not receive the new door code for the lab, you can use the Contact tab to send a message requesting the code. The change has been made to the door so you will need to know the new code to use the Lab.

The notes from the March talk on “Beyond the Norm” are in the “Speakers and Notes” tab.
