Genealogy Interest Group
The Genealogy Interest Group is a growing group of individuals
who want to find out about their heritage and their ancestry. Curiosity
about those who came before and formed us is important.
The group provides tools to do your research and help in getting
started. For the experienced, we can offer suggestions to break
through the brick walls of past generations. Meeting with others
looking in the same geographical areas is a great help.
We have both Apple computers and PCs in the computer room.
We will meet for help sessions on Sat., March 4 and Fri., March
17. Newcomers are welcome. All sessions can be seen on the TAG
calendar.
We are happy to offer the World Explorer version of Ancestry.com
free of charge in the computer room. This program would cost an
individual about $100 a month. We also offer the Family Tree Maker
on several of the computers in the lab. A family tree can be started
and compiled with either or both of these programs with many hints
to assist in your research. Coordinators are Dorothy Miller, Shirley
Rock and Peggy Singh. Contact us at rootsatOHCC@gmail.com.
PLC President Ellen Kippel reports that we have 270 members
enrolled for 2023 (32 new members). There are 62 2022 members
not yet enrolled.
SAVE THE DATE: VILLAGE VET MEETING MARCH 23. We are
invited to join the Village Vets when veteran Tommy Moore presents
the "Shelter to Soldiers" program. This Oceanside organization
adopts dogs from local shelters and trains them to become
psychiatric service dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD and other
trauma-related injuries. Their motto is "Saving lives two at a time"
by reducing the number of suicides and saving the lives of dogs.
Tommy will be accompanied by his STS therapy dog, Moose. The
meeting is in Abravanel Hall, on March 23 at 3 pm.
