Here are the highlights of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week:
1) Moderated the Chula Vista Genealogical Society Research Group meeting on Wednesday on Zoom with 24 attendees. I reported on the death of former member Olive Lenane, the RootsTech 2021, SCGS Jamboree and NERGC conference, MyHeritage s 2020 report, the Findmypast online family tree, FamilySearch s new Ancestor Discovery Pages, the American Ancestors periodicals, my FOREVER box, my 2020 summary posts, and several distant cousin contacts. The attendees discussed their genealogy gifts for Christmas or their best research finds in 2020.
2) Attended the San Diego Genealogical Society British Isles Interest Group meeting on Saturday on Zoom hosted by Colin Whitney, who gave a presentation on Finding Your Immigrant Ancestors Origins.
