Writers Group Meeting

Here's the group you've been looking for! The Southern California Genealogical Society's Writers Group holds lively, friendly online meetings. We share ideas for researching and writing our family stories and histories. The only requirement is membership in SCGS. We welcome beginners!

This month's genealogical/memoir topics are: 

1. Legends from the Homeland
2. Describe a Family Member's/Ancestor’s Personal Style and Clothing
3. Special Teachers
4. Small Details Leading to Large Events in Story
5. Outline the Who/What/When/Where/Why/How of a Writing Piece You’re Working On
6. Estranged Family
7. Special Occasions
8. Culture Shock
9. Pension Files and Enlistment Record
10. Ancestor Illness and Disability
11. Conflicting “Facts"
12. Translate Ancestor Belongings, Land, and Estate in Today’s Economic Terms

Civil War record references as recommended by Gary and Jan. If anyone would like to obtain an ancestor's Civil War Pension files, contact Frailphone:  (401) 464-2119, email:  poppahazmat@gmail.com

His website is temporarily down, but he is still visiting the archives and copying files for those who want them.  Either call or email Bruce for information regarding how to order and the cost. His price has been at or below the archives and going through him is easy instead of the more cumbersome government system.
