I want to thank Denise Kotva for sharing with us her personal research using FindAGrave and going to specific locations to prove her findings. We all learned something new to help in our own journey of research. Great Job!
We continued discussing the "Webinar Project" and providing members to select from the current list of over 150 Webinars (online videos) on genealogical research that Lynn Baker has downloaded and made available to members on a USB drive. Come to our next meeting and find out more. This is a way to continue learning about specific areas ranging from general information, DNA, State specific, country specific and more.
We also talked about the "Christmas Challenge", asking each of you to pick a small genealogy / family heritage project to give your loved ones at Christmas. As you select what to do, we at DIRT will help you with your project. Here is a beginning list of what has been suggested, it would be up to you to decide what you want to do. Please share your ideas and what you want to work on.
