Family Tree Maker Users Group meets the fourth Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m. at the Central Resource Library, 87th and Farley Sts. For more information email Richard “Dick” Rosenstock at Richard@Rosenstock.net. This group is a forum for family history researchers who are currently using or interested in using the Family Tree Maker database software. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for users to interact with other users to improve our collective skills. 

The Writing Group meets in the Picard room of the Central Resource Library.

 

Our Purpose:
Our writing group has two purposes. One is to encourage its participants to be actively engaged in writing something relating to their family history. It could be a personal memory, a life story or biographical sketch, or a story about an ancestor.  Other possibilities could be an article for submission to a genealogical publication or even a complete family history book.  The other purpose is to provide a comfortable environment that is friendly and nurturing yet challenging. Participants can learn ways to bring genealogy to life and to make their writing engaging and interesting to others.  
 
This is a special interest group of the JCGS and is a free benefit of membership. Members interested in writing about their family history are welcome to participate and will get the most benefit by attending on a regular basis and becoming actively involved.
 
This group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday afternoons, 1 p.m. in the Pickard Room at the Central Resource Library located at 9875 W 87th St, Overland Park, Kansas.

 

 

KC Area Legacy Users Group meets the first Saturday of each month, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Central Resource Library in the Learning Lab.
