Join us for our May meeting, where we will meet author and “Genealogy Guy” Drew Smith, MA, MS. Drew will be talking about his newest book, Generation by Generation: A Modern Approach to the Basics of Genealogy.

Description:

Drew Smith’s latest book, Generation by Generation: A Modern Approach to the Basics of Genealogy, results from his own experience over 30 years in reading and attempting to use countless beginners’ books, but finding something lacking. Learn what prompted Drew to identify a new way to approach basic genealogical research and what sets his beginners’ book apart from others.

TIME: 4:30 p.m. SLT (same as Pacific Time)
