March 2020 Lake County Genealogical Society Meeting Cancellation Announcement
The Lake County Genealogical Society (LCGS) meetings will be canceled until further notice due to the Convid 19 virus. Our meetings are typically held on the last Thursday of the month from 10:00 am to noon in the basement of the Morley Library (184 Phelps St., Painesville). Please keep checking our web site (www.lcgsohio.org) for information on when we will start meeting again.
Our scheduled speaker for the March meeting, Chris Staats, has been rescheduled to speak at our November meeting.
Have you ever wanted to find your “Roots” by learning how to research your ancestors; create a family tree, or even find some unknown past and present relatives? Please join us as we share information on where and how to conduct genealogical research from society members and local genealogy experts.
On Thursday, March 26, 2020, at 10:00 am, the Lake County Genealogical Society (LCGS) will have our monthly meeting. Our speaker will be Chris Staats who will tell us about “Analysis and Correlation: Two Keys to Sound Conclusions.” Careful analysis of individual records may reveal more evidence than we might think. Careful correlation combines all the evidence to solve difficult research problems.

Chris has given presentations covering methodology, resources, technology, and other topics at genealogical societies and libraries across Ohio.
