Looking back over the past year, I see that I pursued these genealogy and family history related activities:
1) Speaking Gave two presentations to Orange County California Genealogical Society in September via Zoom. Gave a presentation to Whittier Area Genealogical Society in October via Zoom. Gave a presentation to Larimer County (Colorado) Genealogical Society in November via Zoom. Gave a presentation to a Chula Vista PEO group in October via Zoom. I had planned on cutting back in-person presentations due to travel issues, but COVID did the job for me. I created no new presentations this year.
2) Society Work Moderated 2 SDGS RootsMagic User Group meetings at San Diego FamilySearch Library with 6 to 15 in attendance. These meetings were canceled starting in March due to COVID and the lack of RootsMagic 8 release.
