Chula Vista Genealogical Society Meeting on Wednesday, 30 October Is About Newspapers! Posted: 28 Oct 2019 10:59 AM PDT Wednesday, 30 October 2019, 12 noon CVGS General Meeting at South Chula Vista  Library  (389 Orange Avenue, Chula Vista CA 91911,  in the Marketplace - use the Main Entrance) Speaker:  CVGS Member Randy Seaver on  “Researching in Historical Newspapers” Newspapers are a vital historical resource for genealogy researchers. However, they are an underutilized resource, even with more newspapers coming online as searchable digital images. Newspapers offer all sorts of gems for genealogy and family history researchers. We can use them to unlock the stories of our ancestors, as well as learn more about the time and place in which they lived. In this presentation, Randy will describe the information types that can be found in historical newspapers; where you can find information about which newspapers have been published in a specific locality; and where you can find historical newspapers in print, on microfilm, or in digital image collections.  He will describe how he has solved some of his genealogy mysteries using historical newspapers.  Randy Seaver is a San Diego native, a graduate of San Diego State, and a former aerospace engineer at Rohr in Chula Vista.  He started chasing dead ancestors in 1988 and has built a family tree with about 55,000 persons.  He has been a member of CVGS since 1992, and is currently a member of NEHGS and SDGS.  He has written several books about his own family history, and blogs about his genealogy world daily on Genea-Musings (www.geneamusings.com). NOTE:  This meeting is free for all to attend.  There will be a short business meeting and refreshments after the presentation.

I would love to have members of The Genealogy Squad join me and the wonderful Mary Kathryn Crews Kozy on this amazing Alaska cruise in September 2021! I did this cruise in 2017 and it was so beautiful, I can't wait to do it again! And we get to talk about genealogy on top of everything else! If you contact them, please be sure to let them know you came from me & The Genealogy Sqaud; I don't get any kickback but I think it would be great to see how many come from the group!

More Urls to Try. Photography, Divorces and Facebook

Yes, many are terrified of Facebook.com but I have learned it mostly replaced the old
Golden Gate Forum we had in the 1990's when I was an instructor with them.

Many great active genealogists have joined various groups and offer lots of terrific help to anyone
one who asks for assistance.

Facebook has a site for Identifying Photos, Unusual Questions, the list goes on.


Old Photo Project:  Returning Families Long Lost Photos

Newspapers
https://www.theancestorhunt.com/newspapers.html

Another is Online Divorce Records. same site.

Online divorce records are sometimes hard to find. But here is a list of over 490 Free Divorce Record Collections from the Southern States that are available online. Some states have just a few, but some have a bunch of free collections.   Check out each state at http://bit.ly/2mvzmUu

What about the  DNA Questions site on Facebook? Or the information on Maps,  etc.

 I can not express enough that the Facebook.com site carries more information than one could dream of for Genealogy.

ENJOY

Studying War History of your Ancestors

 I found a site that covers war histories and it is on line.  The data is very informative and may be of great help for those researching their ancestors.

Ten major topics, that would be of major interest to most genealogists for WW2 and other Wars and Events.

There is so much  here just go check it out.. John Finch, Ralph Munoz, Sam Seat, if your still digging military this may help.  Cousin  A  D Cooper  , Pete this may help you also.


They also have a Facebook page I haven't gotten to yet.  SDGS and other societies you may want to share this information with others. OGS, NEHGS, NGS, CVGS etc..

Educational Meeting at Anna's Restaurant in Lemon Grove, CA.

  Today we tried something new. Anna (Thank you),  we will see you again next month. 2 November 2019 at 1 to 3:30 - maybe 4.

 Everyone in attendance said it was a good venue and they learned lots in a very comfortable environment.  It was great to have a sip of coffee or water or soda or what ever while the presentation was given.  Some even had dessert that came with their meals and others ordered desserts to take home.

We arrived at 12:30 for Gary to set up the internet connection. We were ready to start by shortly after 1 pm but we held for a bit and more people arrived.

Yes, we got Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Brock together to assist in the technical stuff.  Welcome aboard.

Rosa thanks for sharing him.

People had sandwiches, full meals, soups, salads, and desserts.

It is our hope we can gain back the people we lost when the Library moved away from this corner and had limited parking and work space etc.  Also the time is First Saturday, afternoon 1 to 4 overall.

The report was on Genealogy is Fun by Susi Pentico.  Everyone said that it was a good presentation and they were reminded of things that they hadn't thought of for genealogy.

Personally enjoying the actual interaction with those in attendance made the event more meaningful to me.  It meant they were paying attention, questions were asked and answered, comments were shared. So we all learned something. I love that type of event. Feeling I learned nearly as much as they learned from the presentation.

The more we know about our fellow members the better to serve them.

The topic was interesting and hopefully educational for all.

Genealogy is FUN.  Elaborating on the word F U N and what those words mean to genealogist and historians.  Cindy Teysko is going to do a write up for the paper.

Cindy T. , Thanks for all the support in helping to get more people out to be engaged in the societies activities.

F is family, is fun,

U is unique,

N is Non-Medical, (no) Normal,  No such thing as Normal, just a variant of.

How all those factors can help you work through your research.

A tidbit of what you missed.
