Don’t miss our last Family History Forum before the summer break! Claire Smith-Burns will share some great ideas for “Crowdsourcing” your genealogy brick-walls!

Presenter: Claire Smith-Burns
Location: via Zoom
REGISTRATION REQUIRED* through the Okanagan Regional Library’s Events Calendar, Family History Forum – LibCal – Okanagan Regional Library
Family History Forums (FHF) are a partnership presentation series of the Kelowna & District Genealogical Society and the Okanagan Regional Library. The topics vary but are typically at the beginner’s level in Family History research. All are welcome to these FREE Zoom presentations, but pre-registration is required through the ORL’s Events Calendar. When registering, be sure to enter your email address correctly and watch for the email from the ORL to confirm your registration. The Zoom link and handout will be emailed to you the day before the presentation by LibCal or the ORL librarian. No FHF in July, August or December.
*Registration often surpasses our Zoom limit but we find that many who register do not log in; by the time we know there is room for more people to attend the presentation, it is too late to notify those on our Waiting List. Therefore, we will no longer limit registration but please be sure to log in early (the Zoom link will be activated at 6:15 PDT) or you may not be able to access the Zoom if 100 people have already logged in. Thank you for your understanding!
