This special event offers a unique opportunity for members to share their personal genealogical stories, discoveries, and experiences, as well as cherished family heirlooms and traditions.
During the meeting, a select group of members will present their exciting breakthroughs, including overcoming brick wall obstacles, finding new DNA cousins, and learning more about their ancestral homelands. These stories will showcase the passion and perseverance of genealogists who continue to uncover the hidden chapters of their family history.
“We are thrilled to invite the community to join us at our annual Member Share event,” said Ted Tazer-Myers, president of the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society. “This event provides an opportunity for us to connect with and inspire one another, and reflect on the incredible journeys we’ve embarked on in our family history research.”
