Genealogy Meeting/Class : Sand Lake Historical Society

Coming up very soon is a genealogy class and meeting this Tuesday, 13 June. The following was clipped from the Rensselaer County Advertiser newspaper.

Sand Lake Historical Society To Meet
The next gathering of the Sand Lake Historical Society  is June 13th! We invite everyone to join us! Genealogy, or the study of family history, has been described as the "fastest-growing hobby in America." With the popularity of television shows like "Who Do You Think You Are?" along with the ease of sharing information via the Internet and the reconnecting of distant relatives using social media it's no wonder more Americans than ever before are interested in discovering their roots.

Professional genealogist Lisa Dougherty will help you get started in the pursuit of your own family history by offering guidelines for gathering information, conducting effective interviews, and organizing your research.

The traditional June "Strawberry Dessert Social" will be provided by the SLHS trustees. Also at the June meeting, membership will vote on proposed amendments to our Bylaws. Meetings are usually held the second Tuesday of each month, beginning at 7:30 p.m., at the Sand Lake Town Hall, 8428 NY 6, Sand Lake, New York.
