Genealogy Fair 2020 - Working Together - New Discoveries held 14 Jan 2020

There were 42 attendees at the Fair and 15 were new.  It was a great turnout.  The session was designed with 1) Short introduction to the Genealogy Club, 2) Guest Speakers, 3) break and looking at information tables, 4) Working together in separate tables for New York/New Jersey; North Carolina ; Virginia ; Beginners with DIRT members sharing experiences and answer questions, then he final Raffle ticket prize giveaway.

We hope that many of the new attendees will join the genealogy club and attend our sessions.  Starting in February the first meeting of the month will focus on Beginners and the steps to success, the 2nd meeting will be more in-depth topics.  Let us get together and work together.
