Upcoming presentations
The Legal Genealogist tries to get a post out right around the first of each month with upcoming events.
But The Legal Genealogist was still late this month — and owes thanks to both the Bucks County Genealogical Society and the Family History Society of Arizona for being terrific hosts on November 2.
The purpose of the post, of course, is to let folks know about fun stuff coming up on the schedule, and to invite you to come along, to the extent possible, on the trip.
So… what’s coming up next?
