MCGS will be presenting a talk in conjunction with Monmouth County Parks System on Saturday, November 13 from 2 to 4 pm. at the Thompson Park Visitors Center. You must register with the county parks system to attend.

Whether you are a beginning genealogist or have found your way deep into your family tree, there is always more to discover and learn!  You will learn how to begin your genealogy research by: (1) writing down what YOU know about your families, (2) discovering information from the documents and family papers that you possess, (3) reaching out to relatives, (4) learning how to deal with family myths & family secrets.

Different ways to organize your research and your office will be discussed.  You will learn to read different handwriting and to deal with the "mizpeleeng of whords & knames".   Many research tips will be discussed including “what & where to research”. 

If your family history is full of blank pages, now is the time to start filling in all those blanks you often wondered about.  This speaker encourages you to make time for homework!
