The Southington Genealogical Society is pleased to sponsor a program entitled “Planning a Future for Your Family’s Past” with Marian Wood on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 7:30 pm at The Orchards, 34 Hobart St in Southington, CT. Learn how to organize and safeguard genealogical research and materials for today and tomorrow. Step by step, Wood will explain how to sort and store genealogical materials; determine what to keep and what to give away; write a “genealogical will” to keep materials in the family; and bring family history alive for future generations.

Marian Burk Wood is a college textbook author, avid family history researcher, and popular genealogy speaker. She earned her MBA at Long Island University and her BA at the City University of New York. Marian blogs about her genealogy experiences at http://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com and her book, “Planning a Future for Your Family’s Past,” will be available at the program.

There will be an opportunity for questions and answers.

The meeting will be held at The Orchards at Southington in their second floor community room at 7:30 pm. There is no admission charge and no obligation to become a member. No reservations are necessary. The facility is handicapped accessible with an elevator.
