We're starting off the New Year with a bang as we bring back our popular genealogy/technology discussion group... Let's Discuss It!

If you've never been, you're in for a treat. Here's your chance to introduce your own topic of interest or just soak up the knowledge from the group. The first hour of the session will be led by John Ware, TNGS Vice-President, 
who will introduce exciting new research and/or technology sites that you may find helpful in your own research. 

During the second hour, John will guide the group through an informal question and answer session on various genealogical software, such as Family Tree Maker, RootsMagic and Legacy FamilyTree, FamilySearch.org, and Ancestry.com.

January's Let's Discuss It will be held on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2018 from 10am to noon at the TN Genealogical Society, 7779 Poplar Pike, Germantown. As always, the lecture is free for TNGS members and $5 for guests. Seating is limited so please click here to register to reserve your spot now!

Wanted ~ Dead or Alive
Saturday, September 21 ~ 10:30 am to 12:30 pm ~ TnGenSoc Lecture Room  
Guest speaker Therese Fisher: "Genealogy typically is the progression back in time as we struggle to uncover the clues that give us the parents of the known generation. But many of us have had occasion to bring the lines forward . . . to learn about living descendants of our ancestors. It could be a reunion or learning who now holds the family bible. How we approach both types of research is different enough to present problems if we don't have the correct tools. This lecture will provide tools that I have learned over the past 15 years performing forensic genealogy." Visit Fisher Associates for additional information.
