Genealogy Roundtable: A New Discussion Group for Beginning-Intermediate Researchers

The Genealogy Roundtable is a new discussion group intended for beginning and intermediate genealogists. The purpose of the Roundtable is to give researchers the opportunity to get questions answered, learn, share ideas, and network.  Each Roundtable will consist of a short overview and discussion of one topic. The floor will then be opened to the attendees to discuss any genealogy topics of interest. Sessions will be held bi-monthly beginning in February 2017. In the first Roundtable we will identify future discussion topics and set the times and locations for future roundtables.
