Castro Valley Library Genealogy Study Group - 1st/3rd Thursdays 10:30 am - 12:30 pmTwo classes were scheduled in March, 2020....March 5 and March 19. However, the March 19th and subsequent classes have been cancelled due to the library closing due to the Corona Virus outbreak. Our next class will be listed here when the Library allows classes to procede.
If you don't see the latest class notes, please refresh your internet browser. The site is updated twice/month shortly after each meeting. On January 4, 2018, Wayne Ainsworth supplied a new version of his Genealogy Toolbox with an updated genealogy blog section. Some links in our class notes may not work, since they point to the Rootsweb.com web site (now owned by Ancestry.com) that was taken down in December, 2017.
If you are looking for help with your family history research or just the companionship of others with the genealogy bug, please come join us! It's FREE! Check our Class Notes for handouts from some past meetings. Pat from the class, suggested a web site for occupation abbreviations. This and more were added to our Class Notes page Each meeting will feature a presentation by our experienced docents or a guest speaker. There will also be time for research and Q &A using the Windows 10 laptops we provide.
There are a couple of favorite web pages... A DNA Centimorgan Chart to help determine closeness of DNA matces and a 2nd Cousins Chart to make cousin relationships understandable. When visiting the library, please visit http://guides.aclibrary.org/genealogy/ and utilize the following web sites for free. Commercial research sites:
