Genealogy Genealogy Meetings: Genealogy Volunteer/Work: It was a busy week for volunteering. On Monday, I led a small group of local members of the California Genealogical Society, which was a chance to get to know others in the area and ask questions. I spent two partial days at the History Center, working on a collection of scrapbooks. At the Oakland FamilySearch Center, I presented about newspaper research and had seven people in the classroom and a couple on Zoom. For the upcoming NGS Family History Conference webinar, I worked on preparing slides about the lectures we will be having. For the BCG, I prepared the press release to send out today. Genealogy Writing/Research: The only writing I did this week was for the two blog posts. I printed out the Hork family book I created last Christmas. I had Staples coil bind it and I handed it out to my family at our lunch on Sunday. Blog Posts Published: Swedish Newspaper Gives a Better Obituary For the theme of “Language”...
