Two Talks at Salem Lutheran Home in October

by Kathryn Doyle (9/25/2009)

California Genealogical Society President Jane Knowles Lindsey will be speaking twice in October at the Salem Lutheran Home at 2361 East 29th Street in Oakland.

On Tuesday, October 20, 2009, at 3:00 p.m., Jane will present “Genealogy is not just for Genealogists” – Find out what you can do to ensure that your family treasures and stories remain intact and available for your descendants to discover.

Jane will follow up the following week on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at 3:00 p.m. with “Getting Started: Your Genealogy Search” – Learn the first steps of genealogical research, including surveying family documents, organizing files, and discovering basic tools such as forms and computer programs.

Salem Lutheran Home is part of the Elder Care Alliance family of assisted living seniors communities, dedicated to providing care services to meet the needs of older adults. They are a non-profit, faith-based organization open to all faiths and denominations. They sponsor fun and informative events which are open to the public. The California Genealogical Society appreciates the opportunity to participate in the Salem programs.

If your group is interested in hearing “Genealogy is Not Just for Genealogists” or another talk related to genealogy, please contact the society at 510-663-1358.
