Join the SaddleBrooke Genealogy Club for a presentation titled, “What legacy will YOU leave your family” presented by Jeri Taylor.
Jeri Taylor is a seven-year member of the club who served as past president for five years and is the current club secretary. The topic of her presentation is “What legacy will YOU leave your family”? Her genealogy presentation approach differs from the more traditional approach which focuses on the past (Ancestors) and instead focuses on the future: “What would you want your children and grandchildren to know about you and your family?
Jeri’s introduction to genealogy started as a teenager when she reluctantly accompanied her genealogist parents, on trips to libraries to comb through microfiche documents, and visits to courthouses and cemeteries. She took over her parents’ genealogy about 30 years ago and has spent endless hours organizing and digitalizing as well as adding to their records through her own research. Her research goal simply stated is “to understand history from a family’s point of view.”
The Genealogy Club meets on the first Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. in the coyote room at the HOA-1 Club facility. Club dues are $15. Speakers are booked with topics focusing on Genealogy and research methods. After presentations, members and guests are encouraged to remain and meet directly with the more experienced members.
