Blogiversary -- Aug 9, 2011

On August 9, 2010 this blog was born.  Members of the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa County Genealogical Society here in Concord, California thought that forming a blog would help us get our message out to the world (or at least the surrounding area), acquire more members (we could always use more), and share the love of genealogy (who doesn't love it?).  We got off to a good start, but then "life got in the way" and blog posts were infrequent.

Now we're have picked up the frequency of posts by writing about upcoming speakers, the meetings themselves, and other events we have participated in.  Other genealogical topics will be written about in the future.  Stay tuned for our next year of blogging!

Digging for Your Roots - A Special Event!

On October 16th, 2010, the Concord Family History Center will be hosting an all day event, Digging for Your Roots. There are 65 1-hour classes available including topics such as searching on-line, restoring old photos and navigating through city records. Local Genealogists as well as members from our own society and the Daughters of the American Revolution will be on hand to present this educational material.
