Education: SIGs & Classes
A Hands-on DNA Special Interest Group will be making its debut on November 15, 2024 – sessions will be held on the fourth Friday of the month and 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 will have its first session on Dec. 4, 2024. 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. Meetings will be held the first Wednesday of the month from 9:30am - 11:30am; meetings will be in-person AND via Zoom. Deb Kabinier will be facilitating this SIG so please let her know if you will attend – her email is president@azsags.org . Meeting location: La Posada Pavilion, Building #60, 2nd Floor, Synergy Room.
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 future 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 SIG 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.
