CCNGS Presents Free ONLINE Classes & Events
A series of genealogy classes and events are currently being offered online.
Second Thursday of the Month “Class” at 7:00pm
This is a course using a series of online classes from Family Search developed to help train mentors. They present a great beginning genealogy class and tips on using familysearch.org. Some attendees after completing the Research Assessment Form were able to get answers to help further their research. Even if you had missed something, you can get caught up by reviewing the class online. It can be found at:

We can all benefit from polishing our skills a little.
Fourth Thursday of the Month “Class” at 7:00pm
This is an entirely different animal. This get together is less organized and just gives us a forum to talk. How many genealogy meetings can you get a friend to look stuff up with you? You can feel free to wander in wearing your jammies and sipping on your cocoa. How many meetings allow you to do that? Seriously….how many?
So be brave. Join us at the appointed time and place… 7pm on the second or fourth Thursday by clicking on this link: https://www.gotomeet.me/treasccngs/ccngs-general-meeting
