SAGS Monthly Meeting (Monthly Meetings)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm HYBRID MTG: in-person meeting and Zoom meeting
MAIN PROGRAM: Women and Their Role in Colonial Times
SPEAKER: Susan Maza
Susan is an avid genealogy enthusiast. Her interest led her to becoming a Daughter of the American Revolution. Her first American Spirit magazine had an article about supporters of the American Revolution. A light came on when she realized the colonists had no structural organization or government that could help organize a resistance against England. Yet with all that was against them we succeeded in becoming a nation. How did we do it? There are so many pieces of the puzzle. Women and Their Role in the Revolutionary War is one topic that hits home with many today.
Members are encouraged to come dressed as an ancestors

1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Hybrid Meeting – attend in-person or via Zoom -- Open to the Public
MAIN PROGRAM: Passing the Genealogy Baton
Preserving our genealogy research can be an important consideration for what happens to all our research efforts. This class explores some legal and logical things that can be done to help ensure that our genealogy research goes to "good hands" when we pass on.
SPEAKER: Susan Styx
Born and raised near Chicago, Sue Styx developed a love of genealogy after moving to Florida and attending a Family History Center course. When she found her first genealogy-based treasure (a letter to her paternal grandmother), she was hooked! Sue continued her genealogy research, which included travel to London, England; Boston's New England Historic Genealogy Society; and Prince Edward Island, Canada in search of elusive ancestors. In February 2022, Sue attended her first RootsTech in Salt Lake City. Sue has been a member of the Pinellas Genealogy Society since 2004 and has served on the cemetery canvassing committee as a genealogy help desk volunteer in the Largo Library, and currently as the Society's Communications Director.
