Root Cellar Workshop
Wednesday, March 11
Root Cellar Workshop  (Workshops)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Workshop has changed to the second Wednesday of the month and will be meeting at the Sylvan Oaks Library, 6700 Auburn Blvd, Citrus Heights, CA 95621.  Join us March 11 when we will be discussing and sharing about Roots Tech! We know some of our members are old hands at Roots Tech but some of us not so much, so we are hoping to share and learn from each other. Roots Tech is offered in person in Salt Lake City or you can sign up totally free for a menu of online options. We encourage you to sign up and watch at least one presentation and then come to workshop and share with all of us - who did you like, what made you pick this subject, what did you learn? We look forward to seeing you in our new location on March 11!

Did Your Ancestor Attend Church? Researching in Religious Records.  (General Meetings)
7:00 pm
Zoom (registration required)
A zoom meeting presented by Lisa S. Gorrell.
Church records can provide names, dates, and relationships about your ancestors. Many of the records from churches and religious organizations predate civil records which makes these records a rich source of information about our families. Give these records a try, even if you think your ancestor did not attend church.

Colonial America - Who Came and Why?  (General Meetings)
7:00 pm
zoom -- registration required
A zoom meeting presented by Denise Beeson.
What do we know about the British soldier, the indentured servant, the wealthy farmer and the enslaved?
But why did they stay?  The British soldier may not have had many options in his homeland, the indentured servant perhaps escaped abject poverty for a better life, the landed gentry amassed great land holdings and, well, the enslaved and convict had no choice. There is much more to the story, and we will find out how to research the ancestral past of colonial America.
