July Meeting Update

Join your fellow genealogy and family history enthusiasts on Saturday, July 19th, at 10:30 a.m. to learn how to use – or to get even more out of – the FamilySearch genealogical research resource. 

Looking for a Revolutionary War patriot ancestor?  A Civil War soldier?  A long-lost relative?  This presentation will show you more and better ways to find them!

Expert researcher Marsha Jacobs, vice chair of the North Carolina state Lineage Research Committee of the Daughters of the American Revolution, will give us a hands-on demonstration of the various tools and resources provided by FamilySearch to help people discover new family history information and build a family tree, including a vast database of historical records, a searchable family tree, and tools for indexing and reviewing records.  Whether you are a longtime researcher or new to family history and genealogy, this talk has something amazing for you!

What: “Unleashing the Power of FamilySearch!”

When: 10:30 a.m., Saturday, July 19, 2025

Where: Bethesda Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 1002 N. Sandhills Boulevard, Aberdeen.  Plenty of parking will be available in the upper and lower parking lots on the church property.

IMPORTANT: If you don’t already have a FamilySearch account, before attending create a FREE account using this link: https://www.familysearch.org/en/united-states/

If you have a laptop, be sure to bring it to get the most out of this opportunity.
