Nothing makes a happier holiday for a genealogist than learning and researching! We have a cornucopia of wonderful classes and events coming up this month and continuing into the holiday season. Here's a preview:

Saturday, November 9:
Following the Paper Trail in England, 1837-1937

An exploration of the kinds of records available for researching ancestors in England and Wales from 1837, when civil registration began, to the outbreak of World War Two. Instructor is Jeremy Frankel, professional genealogist and President of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society.

Saturday, November 16: We have two classes this day at different locations.

this opportunity to learn and share research tools with other Mayflower descendants.
