On 2nd Thursday of each month from 6 pm to 8 pm, the Jonesborough Genealogical Society will host its second Virtual Genealogy Help Night via Zoom. In the age of COVID-19, this will be our second Help Night since March and it will be in a on Zoom. With the Washington County-Jonesborough Library still closed, access to the Genealogy and History Center is not available. Instead, we will be asking those who wish to participate to submit questions related to their struggles in genealogy as well as beginning. These questions must meet two criteria. 1. Ask a valid question and not just asking for look ups or request genealogy be done for you and 2. The questions can be broad about topics, but please keep them in the scope of family heritages of Jonesborough, Washington County (TN), or Northeast Tennessee and related topics. Those wishing to participate should register via https://jgstn.org/virtual-genealogy-help-night/ . A link to zoom will be sent to you. Registration and questions must be submitted by October 1, 2020. We cannot guarantee that every question will be answered. Some similar questions maybe grouped together.
I have lots or ancestors in your area and hope to add some new skills to learn about them. As a member of a local genealogy society, I am interested in seeing how this virtual session works. Thank you for being willing to give it a try.
Will this include a lecture or be a question and answering session?
@Ann Horvath, This will be the same as the last Help Night depending on the questions that come in.
Thank you for continuing to help us through Zoom! Look forward to October 8. I just submitted several questions, but the one just sent is the biggest and most important puzzle to figure out.
