Area genealogists are anxious for FRGS meetings to begin – I
had a request yesterday for details on the when/where/who/what of the next
Fredericksburg Regional Genealogical Society (FRGS) meeting. The meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month, 7:00 p.m. at the Salem Church branch library.
The FRGS 2013 fall
schedule is:
11
September – Virginia Roots
Barbara Vines Little, certified genealogist and noted national speaker,
will have a presentation on methods for researching Virginia records and
repositories.
9 October – DNA
Shannon Bennett, club member and contributing writer to Family Tree
Magazine and other genealogical publications, will discuss DNA testing and how
results may be useful in researching your family.
13 November –
Using Family Search
Ray Maki, club member, will present information on this website,
demonstrate how to access it and show examples of using their Family Tree
software.
Genealogists should check out the newly upgraded website for
the City of Fredericksburg. From the department link,
to circuit court, there is the link to the Archives which has a wealth of
genealogy information. Digitized marriage
records 1976-present are now available through the circuit court.
