| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MAY 2020 | 47 Genealogical Society Unless you are a king, a president or other notable, finding your ancestors and making sure a "family tree" is kept for future generations can be challenging. Now may be the perfect time to start your family tree or pick up a search you have abandoned. If the word "genealogy" fosters visions of long tedious searches through dusty shelves and boxes to find yet another tiny fact about a distant ancestor who died long before you were born, you're right. But… you're also completely wrong. There is so much more to genealogy than just putting together a list of names, places, and dates. Genealogy is all about understanding the history and the heroes of your family. It's about where your ancestors came from, how their world affected who they were, how they lived, and eventually, how they came to have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all the way to down to you. The Sun Lakes Genealogy Society meets the fourth Wednesday of the month in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room at 1 pm. Our goal is to provide professional speakers and programs that will benefit our members in their efforts to find their ancestors in the archives of history. You are the beginning twig of your vast family tree. Starting with you and working backward we will help you develop that tree. Our yearly dues are $20 per family. Your first visit is free. Come and see what we are all about. For more info, call Karen Tarvin, President, at (909) 732-6448. Our next meeting is Thurs., May 21 at 12 pm in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room.
