Chapter Chatter: Rincon Del Diablo Genealogy Workshops Bring Members Together to Learn

The Genealogy Workshops were created as a combination of virtual and in-person workshops and field trips for our members.

Our first field trip was to the San Diego Family Search Center where we received a tour of the facility which included a quiet study room, a classroom, an interview room, a main room, and multi-format digitizing equipment available to use.

We had a virtual meeting where we discussed how to utilize the DAR GRS databases available to the members, and image access. We also did a presentation during a Rincon Del Diablo general meeting about the FamilySearch.org and RelativeFinder.org websites and the different ways they may be able utilized to give research hints to individuals.

The group had a field trip to the Georgina Cole Library Genealogy Room where our workshop members also sat in on a presentation organized by the North San Diego County Genealogy Society and took a class on doing Mexican Lineage Research, which may help in our new DAR focus on the Specialty Research of African-American Research, French Research, French Canadian Research, Jewish Research, Native American Research, Spanish Research, and Cuban Research.

Also planned include field trips to the Escondido Pioneer Room, San Diego History Center, Women’s Museum of California, and virtual and in-person workshops covering the resources that our daughters can use and where we can help each other with our applications.
