Old News is Good News (Education)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
From the mundane to the unusual, you never know what old newspapers will tell you about your relatives. Newspaper articles can fill in the gaps in a person's life, add context to their story, and provide evidence of birth, marriage, and death when original records don’t exist. We'll cover Old News by MyHeritage, SmallTown Papers, and other lesser-known newspaper resources.
Instructor: Dawn Carlile
Class fee: $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers.

North Carolina Research (Education)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
This class introduces the methods and record sets most useful for researching families in North Carolina. We’ll review North Carolina’s history and geography to understand settlement patterns, then discuss how to trace ancestors using county-level records such as deeds, wills, estates, tax lists, court minutes, and vital records. We’ll also consider challenges common in the state—burned counties, changing county boundaries, and common migration routes. Finally, we’ll discuss how to locate materials in online databases and archives.
Instructor: Linda Forrest
Class fee: $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers.

OGS Writers Group (Special Interest Groups)
2:00 pm OGS Library, 955 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR
The OGS Writers’ Group meets on the first Saturday of the month at 2:00 pm. We’ll begin in the OGS library and move to the annex if we need more space.
All writers and wannabe-writers are invited. There is no agenda for this meeting; it will be a gathering of people who like to write about family history—whether for publication, for sharing with family members, or simply for their own satisfaction. If you've already done some genealogical writing, please bring that along to share. Seeing other people’s writing can spark ideas for our own writing.
If you have questions and want to talk to me before the meeting, you can text me at 541.513.3918 or email christina.b.armstrong@gmail.com
I hope to see you there!
Tina Armstrong
