by Kathryn Doyle (5/24/2010)

June family history offerings have been posted to the San Francisco Bay Area Genealogy Calendar. The calendar is a collection of local genealogical society events – seminars, classes, workshops and meetings – within a 75 mile radius of San Francisco.

The monthly list of Bay Area genealogy programs continues to grow as more societies submit their items to the calendar.

If you would like your group’s events added to the calendar, please email the information by the 20th of each month for publication on the 25th. (Put “SFBA Calendar” in the subject line.)
