Event Details

During the 1800s, one in every seven people in the United States was a member of a fraternal society, but do you know how to locate YOUR ancestor's memberships? Jen Baldwin, Research Specialist for FindmyPast, will be the Dallas Genealogical Society's featured January speaker - presenting about researching secret societies. Learn about the various types of organizations and understand how they differ from each other and perhaps even gain your own secrets to accessing their record collections.

Join Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month to hear a free genealogy speaker and learn new ways to find your family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m. followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m. followed shortly by the FREE educational presenter.

Can't make it in person? Join the meeting online through the DGS website.

For in-person attendees, Dallas Genealogical Society volunteers will be providing free research help on the library's 8th floor genealogy computers after the presentation.
