WAGS General Meeting
Saturday, February 15, 2025
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm PST
 
Topic:  History of a Place That Means a Lot to Family
Speaker:  Larry Naukum
 
Sorensen Library Meeting Room
6934 Broadway Ave, Whittier CA 90606
+ Zoom
 

Create a story of a meaningful place that matters to your family.

Our ancestors did live in a certain place and time, which affected their lives and work. There are a number of ways which can be used to find more information about their residences and could help us to understand a little of why they did what they did. Even a “summer” place allows a family to see one another though they may be widely scattered. There are more tools to do this easily than ever before. Examples are given from the speaker’s own life.

The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
 
This program is not sponsored or endorsed by L.A. County Library.
