Looking Forward to the StLGS Winter/Spring 2021 Schedule

We hope you are having a healthy and happy holiday season and staying safe. After you are finished celebrating Chanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa, it will be time to get back to genealogy! In a more normal year, StLGS would have the whole 2021 schedule ready for you by now, but due to the uncertainty of the times, we are taking it a bit more slowly this year. We have no idea when it will be safe to gather in person, but we are looking forward to bringing you the very best experience possible by continuing our successful livestreamed and digitally recorded virtual meetings and classes. Take a look at what's coming up . . .

The schedule for the first part of 2021 is now posted on the StLGS website. You can see all of the exciting virtual classes, monthly meetings, and SIG meetings on their appropriate pages by following the links below. No flyers are available at this time, due to the changing nature of the virus situation, but we will continue to keep the website updated as we go throughout the year.

• Meetings and Events 
• Classes for winter/spring 2021
• German Special Interest Group
• Irish Special Interest Group
• Jewish Special Interest Group

Until further notice, StLGS meetings and classes will be virtual. 

Monthly meetings and Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings are free and open to all, but preregistration is required to receive an invitation to attend. 

• If you have attended previous StLGS monthly meetings, you are already on our mailing list and do not have to do anything unless your email address has changed. 

• If you have not registered for a monthly meeting before, send an email to programs@stlgs.org by 6 January 2021 to attend the January meeting. 

• To register for one of the SIG meetings, go to the specific page linked below and follow the instructions there.

• At this time, classes are only for StLGS members. Instructions for registration are on the Classes page linked below. If you are not an StLGS member, now is a great time to join!
