SOCCGS Announcements for July 2021

The SOCCGS Genealogy Reference Center is now OPEN!

Library hours are currently Tuesday – Saturday, 12noon – 5pm, and Docents are on duty to help you with your genealogy research.

We expect that many of you will be eager to access those locked records on FamilySearch and our other databases which we haven’t been able to use for the last year. To avoid long waits to use the computers, we have set up an online appointment system for our two genealogy computers.

To make an appointment for our genealogy computers, go to https://collecting404s.com/computer-reservations/ or click on the drop-down menu for the Research Center from the black menu bar at the top of our website, and then choose Computer Reservations.

The Annual Seminar is coming in October 2021!

Mark your calendars – October 16, 2021! You do not want to miss this year’s big event. We are delighted to be able to confirm that we hit the jackpot regarding our featured speaker for our big annual seminar event in October! Judy G. Russell, The Legal Genealogist, has agreed to be our speaker and provide our members with a four-session fabulous day with a wide array of topics to help us use legal records to find our ancestors.
