Join those who enjoy talking about genealogy for an Open Mic - Genealogy Session!
Sometimes being a good genealogist means being able to share the stories with your family. This is a great opportunity to practice in a fun, safe group setting. Share a 5 to 10 minute family history story about your research, an event, heirloom item or something special from your life.
