OCTOBER 2023 MEETING
The Sonoma County Finding History Day is the third Thursday in October, which is the usual meeting date for the Sonoma County Genealogical Society. SCGS won't be having a meeting, so you can all join us at the Finley Center to mix and mingle with like minded folks.
This photo is from last year (the SCGS table is at the bottom of the picture) and it was sure fun!
Hope to see you there.
To see a list of participants, go to the Sonoma County Historical Society page HERE
If you missed one of our recent meetings, the handouts may be available. Check out the ones on the public Handouts Page and also the Members Only page. We may also have received permission to allow our members to view a recording of the presentation - check the Members Only page.
Follow the Sonoma County History and Genealogy Library on their Facebook page
There are frequent posts of interest to local historians, and links to their Location page, Research Page and their Newsletters and Blog posts - all good stuff!
There is also a link to a video about the new book Revised and Expanded Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery. Which also leads to the many other videos available, including how to access and navigate the Top Five - Ancestry Library Edition, HeritageQuest, Newspapers.com, the San Francisco Chronicle 1865-1922 and Fire Insurance maps online (FIMo) in this tutorial.
