REGIONAL PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES
 
We will be posting here some current regional programs, workshops and seminars of interest to our society members. Generally these events will not be posted to our MGS Calendar of Events.There are many regional genealogy societies or special events that are within a reasonable drive and their programs can be an excellent source of information to aid your family roots search. Check the specific sponsoring society website for more information, if a website is available.
 
Below are listed some upcoming meetings, workshops and  seminars that may be of interest to you. Check our Regional Societies page to view specific society websites. The specific society website is your best source of society events and programs.
