January Genealogical Events in the Suburbs

Happy New Year! 

If you are like me, with a quiet genealogy month in December, I have a renewed spirit to start out the year with a push into learning new ideas.  I’m looking forward to attending several of the events listed below.  Here are the presentations in the area for the next six weeks or so.  If I’ve missed an event or you know of a society that can be included, please let me know.  Most of these events are free, but please check the website listed for more information and if necessary, any registration.  

I hope your genealogy research is successful in 2018.
