Wish those online forums were still active--at least that would be a replacement option, but even that isn't quite the same as it used to be.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-50391556535496559512020-02-04T19:43:54.557-08:002020-02-04T19:43:54.557-08:00I wish there was an active group around here, it w...I wish there was an active group around here, it would be fun to talk with like minded people:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-56368449108920139272020-01-31T23:51:45.864-08:002020-01-31T23:51:45.864-08:00It's interesting to see how popular those &quo...It's interesting to see how popular those "sharing" and discussion groups can be for genealogical societies, Miss Merry. Thanks for sharing the info on your experience. I've heard similar reports from other societies. I think that is confirmation that many people want to see more of the social side of genealogy.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-5141461218810500392020-01-31T06:25:35.483-08:002020-01-31T06:25:35.483-08:00Our monthly meeting for January was a "sharin...Our monthly meeting for January was a "sharing" meeting. Even though it was January in the Midwest, we had almost a full room for our program, themed Saints and Sinners. Lots of sharing of those interesting family stories that were not mentioned for a few generations. The sharing meetings are very popular. <br /><br />Personally I have found that the interesting speaker is not always a Phd. An interesting path to a story by an "amateur" can be even better.
