Announcing:
GENEA-BREAK

CranGenClub is still here for our members.  President Sue Ennis has come up with a brilliant idea - Genea-Break!
Genea-Break works on the Zoom meeting app.  During this stay-at-home period, we can still meet online, share information, and socialize.  If any member would like to present a 5 minute topic or example during Genea-Break, please contact Sue Ennis at susanennis@verizon.net. 

You must download the zoom app before attempting to join the meeting.  Find the Zoom website online and follow the instructions.

Refer to the e-mail you have received from info@cranberrygenealogy.org for details.  Information about each event is sent in a separate message, which is specific to you and your e-mail address. We are not permitted to share with non-members or friends, due to Zoom terms and conditions.  

Future dates of Genea-Break meetings are:  April 2, 9 and 16 at 7:00 PM - watch for an e-mail for each event.

Cranberry Genealogy Club - Meeting Location

TEMPORARY LOCATION CHANGE
The library is under construction, so we are meeting in the back half of the Franklin Station meeting room.  Please come directly to the back hallway near the childcare center, and go to the end.  The double doors are on your right, just before the exit.
Normal Location:
We meet in the Franklin Station meeting room, inside the Cranberry Public Library, The address, for those using a GPS, is:  2525 Rochester Road, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066.  Meetings start at 6:30 PM unless otherwise indicated on the schedule.
Franklin Station is a divided meeting room. We usually meet in the front section, accessed through the library. When the front section is in use, there will be a sign in the community center hallway directing you to the rear hallway, where the door will be unlocked to allow our members entry.  Unless you see a sign, enter through the library.

About Us:

Our purpose is to assemble people who are interested in genealogy and in preserving family history, to provide programs for  instruction and education of interested persons, and to help others locate and retrieve genealogical information.  We are based in Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.
