This month, our Roundtable topic will be about:

A Family History Discovery

Yes, you will be in the company of folks who love talking about genealogy! So think about which Family History Discovery you want to share with us at the Roundtable. What did it mean for your research? Did your discovery change your understanding of your family? Did it lead to many more family lines?

Grab your coffee or tea and settle in for a great conversation about our favorite topic!

How the Roundtable will Work: Purpose & Protocol

• Have a conversation that revolves around genealogy/family history.

• Connect with each other to support the success of our Substack Publications.

• Be kind to each other.

• Be mindful of time when speaking. Time will be determined by the number of participants.

• Once you’ve finished speaking, select the next person to speak.

There will be 2 different ways to engage during the Roundtable: It’s completely your choice.

Participants: You will have the opportunity to

• Introduce yourself.
