Where Will We Be .....
Our In-person meetings don't resume until June of this year but you can meet up with us at a few events before June. Stop for help or just to say Hi - We love to talk genealogy!
May 2nd - The Troy Public Library, 100 Second Street, Troy, NY 12180
We are holding a Family History Help Day 11 am - 4 pm with volunteers to sit with you and help you with your research. It's a Saturday so parking will be available in the Courthouse lot next door.
We are in the process of scheduling a talk at the Library in Fonda, NY, another in Gloversville, NY and some one-on-one genealogy help sessions, this summer, at the Colonie Town Library..... stay tuned.
In May we return on Zoom for a program about the Loyalists in New York during the Revolution. Loyalism was prevalent across all of the Hudson River Valley during the war and they were a constant threat to the patriots. How can you find out whether your ancestor was a Loyalist or a patriot? Were those residents of New York and Long Island within the occupation true Loyalists? This presentation will highlight new avenues in Loyalist research and some unlikely areas you may find some useful collections
