We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month. Until further notice, in-person meetings are cancelled and all our meetings will happen online, via Webex. Members of our group will receive a group email a day or two prior to the meeting with instructions to join the meeting. If you would like to "visit" a meeting, please email us and tell us who you are so we can send you the meeting invitation. Online meetings will start at 10am (not 9:30), but it will be helpeul if everyone joins 10-15 minutes early so we can work through any technical difficulties with the online meeting. This paragraph is for when we resume in-person meetings (probably June or so): We meet in Roswell (just north of Atlanta), GA, from 9:30am to noon. Our meeting time is 9:30am. Click
here for info about us, including a general
description of our group, a list of our meeting topics for the past
several years, and directions to our meeting
location (when we meet in person). Our meeting topics are a good
demonstration of what our group is about. |

Discussed in September 2003 meeting: A list of Libraries in GA with Genealogy collections. This list provides an index into a series of articles in the GGS Quarterly which discusses each of these libraries in detail. (We do not have the actual articles; see the GGS, link provided in the list, for that.) Thanks to Jane Splawn and Ann Sherman for the list and the articles. |
