See the full CALENDAR or VIRTUAL CALENDAR for
ALL of the upcoming genealogy events.

America250 is launching a road tour across the US, looking for storytellers to share audio interviews about their lives. They’re working to create the largest-ever oral history collection and digital archive “to educate and inspire future generations.”  Nominate yourself or someone you know to contribute, here.

FREE MAYFLOWER ANCESTRY GUIDE

American Ancestors is offering a free resource guide to help you prove your Mayflower ancestry. Of the original 102 passengers & crew that left England in September of 1620, nearly half of the passengers who survived the voyage died during the first winter after their arrival in America. And yet about 35 million people can trace their ancestry to the 26 Mayfloweri families known to have left descendants. This free guide may help you find your connection to Mayflower ancestors. Details here.

FREE MAGAZINE & TRIAL OFFER

Family Tree Magazine (the UK folks) are offering their September issue for free, as well as a free trial to their Family Tree Plus program. I subscribed to the Plus program for about a year, and was really happy with the programs, discussion groups, and other perks, so I can easily recommend trying it out with this free trial offer. As always, this isn’t a paid advertisement — I saw the offer online and thought I’d share it with y’all. Details here.

NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

FAMILY HISTORY MONTH CONTINUES: Be sure to check out the free PDF resources from NGS with ideas and inspiration for societies and individuals to celebrate Family History Month. Find them here.

UPCOMING CULTURE CONVERSATION: Both NGS members and non-members are invited to attend the free Zoom event on October 23 at 8 pm Eastern. Ashlee Davis will be talking about “The Power of Conversations to Tell the Stories that Unite Us.”  Ashlee is Ancestry’s Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  Discover the power of unity through diverse stories. Be part of the conversation. Register for this Zoom program in advance, here.  

SOCIETY DELEGATES: Are you following or contributing to the conversations in the FORUM – the online discussion board for Organization Delegates? It’s a great place to ask questions and share your experience. Be sure to read this past week’s message from Matt Weismantel! Consider participating in one of the Delegate Council subcommittees.  Your contributions are needed and can make a lasting impact. If you have any questions about the delegate or admin roles, or how to access the FORUM, email membership@ngsgenealogy.org
