Special Event – Family Tree Maker Software
On Thursday, February 20, Mark Olsen and Duff Wilson, from software company MacKiev, will be in Green Valley to showcase the new 2024 version of Family Tree Maker (FTM) software. FTM is a software program that runs on either a Windows or Mac computer and is used to build your family tree and keep your research in one place. FTM software interfaces with both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org. Mr. Olsen and Mr. Wilson will demonstrate the software and its new features as well as answer any questions regarding their software.
The event is FREE, but you should make your reservation as soon as possible since seating is limited.

Feb. 2025 Update
Education: SIGs & Classes
A Hands-on DNA Special Interest Group made its debut in November. Sessions are held on the fourth Friday of the month from 9:00am-11:00am. All sessions will meet at the LaPosada Recreation Center. The SIG will start with the basics through the experience of its leader, Mike Day. Mike is a former teacher and technologist who brings a decade of experience as a user of DNA testing services and a career of understanding technologies. Be sure to check our Events Calendar for complete information on each session.
A New SIG – Let's Talk Genealogy. Genealogy can be confusing. Sometimes, you just need to be with some friends to talk about a research problem. Maybe you want to share a breakthrough you have been working on for years. That's the purpose of "Let's Talk Genealogy" – friends talking about genealogy and family history. Future meetings will be announced soon.
Our Beginner's Genealogy Group, open to non-members & members, is a great way to get started with researching your family tree. This group meets the 4th Thursday of the month from 3:00pm-4:30pm at the Genealogy Library at La Posada, and via Zoom. For more details, contact Jon Otto, Group Leader, at jonotto48@yahoo.com, and check our Events Calendar for up-to-date meeting dates.
The Family Tree Maker SIG meets monthly, via Zoom, on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. If you are a SAGS member interested in exploring this software, send an email to Karen Feeney, Group Leader, and your name will be added to the group list. A monthly email is sent to all members to remind you of the upcoming meeting and includes the Zoom link for the meeting. Check the Events Calendar for up-to-date information on meeting dates.
Storytellers: Writing Family Stories (Classes)
If there were no stories to pass along, the history of a family would be only names and dates.
The Storytellers class for SAGS members meets from 10:00am - 12:00pm on the second Tuesday of the month from October through May at the Friends in Deed location. This is a class for those who want to write to preserve their personal stories and those of ancestors in a written format. This is not a drop-in SIG; you must register in advance to join the class. For more information, please contact Becky McCreary: rebeccamccreary764@gmail.com
To get more details about our SIGs, or to suggest a new class or SIG on a topic that's near and dear to you, send an email to our Education Director, Debra Einweck, at education@azsags.org.
