Some New Year's Resolutions for Genealogists

As each new year begins, do you get excited about starting over? Do you promise yourself you will exercise more? Eat more healthy foods? Cut back on bad habits or continue good ones? Perhaps you have made some new year’s resolutions for those things, but have you thought about making some for your genealogy research? There are many things that all of us can do in this new year and those to come to enhance our research skills. Why not make a resolution for 2024 to become a better researcher? Here are a few suggestions for how you can do just that.

StLGS Office Update AND July Meetings and Classes

Happy Fourth of July! As we mentioned a few weeks ago, the StLGS office in Maplewood is getting a much-needed facelift, and work is in full swing. The painters have finished applying a double coat of a soft grayish-white paint on all the walls, a big improvement over the dull pink that was previously there. This last week, the carpet installers removed the old, faded pinkish/gray-blue carpet in the more traveled areas of the office and replaced it with a bright navy/mauve textured one. The next step will be a thorough top to bottom cleaning by a professional crew. This is, of course, taking time and hard work. Read on for more details!

StLGS Office News AND June Meetings and Classes

Happy Memorial Day! The St. Louis Genealogical Society office in Maplewood has been our home for almost a quarter of a century. Its original pink walls and blue/pink/grey carpet have held up remarkably well, but the years have marched on, and our office is in much need of an update. With our landlord's approval, we have chosen paint to brighten the walls and carpet to replace torn and battered spots, and we have recently received word from our landlord that our long-awaited facelift has been approved and is about to begin.
