2018 NCGS Speakers Forum (June 23)
The Speakers Forum Returns! And it’s bigger and better than ever! After an absence of several years, another NCGS Speakers Forum will take place at the State Archives of North Carolina in Raleigh on Saturday, 23 June 2018. Both aspiring and experienced speakers will present lectures on a wide variety of topics. Hear interesting case studies, learn how to solve difficult problems, or get ideas on writing your family story. Grab the opportunity to interact with the speakers and other attendees. You won’t want to miss it!
Olde Meck's Louise Nottingham will offer two workshops:
- DNA Cousin Matches Explained.
- Writing Your Ancestors Stories.
Family Stories Writing Group Workshop
The Olde Meck Writing Group has gotten off to a great start!
Do you want to preserve your family stories for future generations but don't know where to start? Come to the Olde Meck Family Research Center on Thursday afternoons (12:00 noon to 2:00 pm) and join with others who have the same goal. We'll share our stories, provide constructive comments, and generally encourage each other to begin this worthwhile process that we've all been putting off.
This group is free for all Olde Meck members AND you can bring a friend. No RSVP is needed. Please come any Thursday you can.
What to bring:
- Memoir writers: pictures of yourself at various ages.
- Ancestor writers: clippings or timeline or pictures of your taret ancestor.
- Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch for yourself.
