2022 events ~ 2023 events

Upcoming January 2024 events
— January 3 (Wed): General Meeting – Kino Ocotillo/Mesquite room 10am. We will be presenting a panel discussion relating to efficiently and effectively traveling for genealogy research purposes. We will address visiting towns or cities that ancestors lived in or frequented, looking up grave sites and cemeteries, going to the Family Genealogy Center in Salt Lake City, visiting counties or countries to locate information about relatives, etc.
We look forward to seeing a full crowd of members and guests. And we warmly welcome ALL QC residents with an emerging interest in Genealogy.

— January 10 (Wed): QCGC BOD meeting – Kino Conference room 10am. All QCGC members are welcome to attend. Bring comments, questions, and suggestions about the Club.

— January 25 (Thur): Education Committee – Kino Mesquite room 1pm. Attend our interactive “Hands-on Genealogy Helping Session” workshop. These helping sessions are opportunities for the Educational Committee and QCGC member attendees to bring their own laptops, binders, records, questions, etc. with the intent to share and help each other further genealogical knowledge, break down brick walls and improve research skills.
*Please note* – bringing “technology” is not required, just suggested. Many genealogy records and methods are not online; the opportunities for members to share experiences and tips face-to-face is priceless. Members and their guests are encouraged to join us, network with other genealogy-minded people and hopefully leave the session with additional tools to further their genealogical endeavors.
