“TIP TIME” PRIOR TO EACH MEETING
Prior to be “official” start of each meeting, beginning at 6:45, we are now holding an informal session where those present can toss out questions to the collective group. This is proving to be an excellent way to find new ideas for breaking through those “brick walls” that pop up in our research efforts.

NORTH HILLS GENEALOGISTS ACTIVITIES
|
 |
 |
|
Meetings are on the third Tuesday of every month, except December, starting at 7:00 P.M. Our meetings are held at Northland Library. More details and directions are on the CALENDAR page. All meetings are free and open to the public. For more information email: INFO@NorthHillsGenealogists.org
The monthly meetings each feature a guest speaker addressing the group on a subject related to genealogy. A “roundtable discussion” is periodically scheduled instead of a lecture, giving each person a chance to ask questions or tell of a great find. We also have a “freebie” table of interesting genealogical pamphlets and booklets and a “for sale” table with genealogical bargains.
We arrange field trips to repositories and locations such as Washington DC, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Western Reserve Library in Cleveland, Ohio, and the West Virginia University Library in Morgantown, WV.
We publish a monthly newsletter (except for December or July), which is indexed in PERSI. It includes articles to help you find resources, tips on how to do better genealogy, announcements of upcoming genealogical events, and both member and non-member queries.
Dues are $15 per year (August through the following July). Back issues of the newsletter will be sent to mid-year newcomers.
