TCGS offers a variety of methods to extend your genealogical knowledge and your family history research. Pick the ones that fits your available time and learning style. Choose from:
Monthly Lessons (see below) – Focus Groups – Seminars – Libraries – Trips – Classes
Also check for classes taught at the Richland Family History Center or the Gage Family History Center. The Libraries page has a description of these classes and the Calendar page has the schedule for 2008-2009.
Starting with the 2010 January meeting (Jan 13) we will not have a mini class.
There are two reasons. First we need some time to adapt to our new location (see the home page for details). Second we need a new Education Chairperson to organize these class. If you'd like to volunteer as the Education Chair contact Susan Faulkner.
