REMEMBER FREE GRIP PRESENTATIONS IN JUNE AND JULY
Next Meeting:
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Looking for your Ancestors?
Do you want to learn how using a combination of Find A Grave plus Ancestry.com plus FamilySearch to cross-reference your research is an advantage to genealogists? Then attend our June Zoom meeting to hear Ryan Henrie's talk on this topic.
Ryan Henrie, a local Family History Consultant, will present details about how to get the most from Find A Grave, an American website of cemetery records, to add to your genealogical research. Find A Grave, now owned by Ancestry.com, is a rapidly growing free database thanks to volunteers who photograph and transcribe headstones in their local area.
Meetings are open to the public.
We hope to provide a good service to our local community. Zoom has allowed us to reach fellow genealogists across the country and even overseas. We are glad to welcome you to join us.
Members will receive a link to sign in to the Zoom meeting, and a reminder via e-mail. This is another great benefit of membership.

Picture Perfect Picnic
Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 6:30 PM
Where? Lions Club Shelter, Cranberry Twp Community Park
Cranberry Genealogy Club officers have planned a social event at the Lions shelter in Cranberry Township Community Park. It will be on our normal meeting date, July 28 at 6:30 P.M. Programs chair Judi Boren will supply lemonade and water, and cookies. Come after dinner, or bring a picnic dinner to the shelter. It's at the top of the hill and there is a large parking lot.
Why are we calling it Picture Perfect Picnic? Bring a "brick wall" photo that you'd like to learn more about. We will put our heads together to determine the timeframe of your photo based on clothing, setting, and hairstyles. President Sue Ennis will bring document sleeves to protect your photo as it is viewed by others.
GRIP Evening Programs:
In addition, we recommend you attend one or all of the free GRIP programs in June and July. GRIP offers free one-hour presentations, which are open to the public via live Zoom only, according to THIS SCHEDULE. The meetings begin at 7:00 PM Eastern time.
Dates are June 21-24 and July 12-15.
The four June lectures are Karen Stanbary presenting “The Everleigh Sisters: A Case Study in Conflict Resolution,” David
Rencher presenting “What’s New at the Family History Library and FamilySearch,” Kelvin Meyers presenting “Whose Estate Is
It Anyway!” and Rebecca Whitman Koford presenting “Besieged by Baxters: A Case Study for a Common Name.”
There is no cemetery walk currently planned for 2021.
