Once again, NeWGS member Kathy Ochs will be sharing another valuable resource for the genealogy researcher. "The Family History Guide" is a free website that represents a best-in-class learning environment for family history. Its scope is broad, but its focus is narrow enough to help you achieve your goals, step by step. Whether you're brand new to family history or a seasoned researcher—or somewhere in between—The Family History Guide can be your difference maker. It is a do-it-yourselfer's dream when it comes to learning all facets of research.  Beginners and advanced researcher alike can benefit from getting acquainted with this really helpful guide.

June board meeting

Long-time friend of NeWGS, Melode Hall, will share tips and references on how to date old photos,

them in a Forever permanent cloud storage that you own and is private and good for your life plus

100 years.
