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. Upcoming sessions, led by Bob Pitcher, will be held at the La Posada Pavilion, Bdlg. #60, 2nd Floor, in the Synergy Room on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 9:30-11:30am.
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. TAKE NOTE: no meetings in November and December due to the holidays.
UPDATE! The Family Tree Maker SIG meeting schedule is changing effective November 2025. Meetings will be held every other month on the 3rd Monday from 10:00am - 12:00 noon, via Zoom. 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. Meeting reminders and the Zoom link will be sent to all members about 5 days prior to the meeting day. 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 SAGS Storytellers class meets at Friends in Deed, 10:00am - Noon the second Tuesday of the month, October through May. This is a class for those who want to write to preserve their personal stories and those of ancestors. 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, Pat Edwards, at education@azsags.org.
