Live in Western Mass? Interested in Irish Genealogy and Research? Mark your calendar for October 2, 2013. Lisa Dougherty, a professional genealogist from Castelton, NY, will speak to our group regarding one of her specialties, researching Irish origins. View her website at Family Research by Lisa Dougherty by clicking the link.
The public is invited to this event at no charge. But we encourage everyone to become a member of the Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society, or WMGS. We meet 10 times a year on the first Wednesday of the month from September through the following July. Dues are only $20/year.
In the coming months, we'll have a variety of programs including a "field trip" to the Museum of Springfield History, a repository of an amazing collection of published and unpublished genealogical resource material. Also, Maureen Taylor will give us a remote presentation via SKYPE on photographic genealogy. She is currently publishing her 3rd volume of Revolutionary War Patriot photographs! Yes!! These are photographs of the soldiers of the Revolution who fought at some period between 1776 and 1783 who sat for the new technology in the mid 19th century. Her website can be seen at Maureen Taylor Genealogy by clicking this link.
We meet at the Agawam Senior Center in their Community Room, a modern, comfortable facility. It is located at 954 Main Street, Agawam, MA. You can contact me directly with questions at dave@oldbones.info.
See you in October!
