AFHS Society Meeting
May 11 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm MDT
The AFHS Society Meeting is our regular meeting for all members, usually held on the second Monday of each month from September to June. Guests are welcome to attend!
Topic: Annual General Meeting with the Election of Board of Directors, followed by a presentation by Angela Boyes – AI Tools to Bring Our Genealogical and Family History Alive.
Angela Boyes combines archival research, genealogy, education, with digital tools to turn photographs, letters, ledgers, and records into clear, engaging narratives that keep the facts at the centre. Her work includes family histories, timelines, annotated photos, military stories, and digital legacy pieces.
As Chair of the Historical Committee for the Southern Alberta Pioneers and their Descendants, she leads projects that preserve local memory. A grandmother of seven, she believes family history should be readable, meaningful, and worth keeping.
Her work helps families and communities connect more deeply with the people, places and records that shaped them.
Angela, born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, is a descendant of Southern Alberta pioneer James McKevitt. She holds a master’s degree in Education and a postgraduate diploma in genealogy, palaeography and heraldic studies. She has been involved in genealogy research since 1984. Angela has spoken at numerous provincial Teacher Conventions, at RootsTech Conference and at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE conference) on Genealogy and Family History in the K-12 Classroom and Indigenous Record Finding.
Her website is at ABoyes Consulting
