AND NEW THIS YEAR, since we will be meeting in the TGS Library, then we will try hands on research and mini tours of the TGS Library. Instead of just talking about records, we will actually use them. This may include internet, CD-Rom, all the Indian Rolls, Census, microfilm, County records, etc. This is NOT JUST FOR beginners. THERE ARE VAST GENEALOGY RESOURCES in the TULSA AREA THAT ARE CONSTANTLY BEING UPDATED and added to all the time. We start with how to research from here in Tulsa, and then; how to plan a research trip and get the most out of it.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO ATTEND. EVERYONE WELCOME.
