I.R.A. Project in Progress!










Reached a dead end in your family history research??


A new year brings new challenges to  CGGS. Members met for the first of 2 and possibly 3 months of collaborating to seek breakthroughs and unlock the walls of many researchers in our group.
As learned in our first meeting, location, historic events like the civil war, natural disasters and unattainable records are some of the causes of a dead end research project. Some members don't have access to certain databases or just are not aware databases exist. Joining together combining knowledge and resources is a road to success. Seven scenarios were submitted with 15 members in two groups are working on this project. The next meeting will address the findings and resources used to help solve the family history roadblocks.



January Meeting and Program











Happy New Year to All!

Don't miss our first program for the year , Saturday January 11, 2020 at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. The program will begin at 10:30 am in the downstairs classroom. 
We will be starting a two month project called I.R.A., Individual Research Assistance. 
This project will be a collaborative  project in helping each member solve their dead end and brick wall research problems. All members are encouraged to attend and to participate. We all have different areas of research and we are at different levels as well. Learn from one another!
The Saturday meeting and program will lay the groundwork for beginning the project.
The Basalt Cafe now has a new vendor. " Rooted"  will be open with a limited menu. Rooted is new and is still building its followers. 

Hope to see your there!
