OGS is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library
The Oregon Genealogical Society is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means you can access online records that are not available from home at our library on one of our patron computers, or bring your laptop to the library. Most records with a camera and triangle icon are accessible at the OGS Library, but some may only be viewable at a FamilySearch Center or the FamilySearch Library.
Saturday, March 7, 2026
Our 2026 Mini-Seminar is scheduled for March 7th, with Ron Chan presenting two sessions on "Embracing Technology to Tell Family History Stories." Ron will discuss the resources, tools, and best practices for creating family history stories, using artificial intelligence for oral histories, as well as techniques for restoring photos and crafting a digital legacy.

Normally, we meet in person; however, this month our meeting conflicts with the No Kings Protest, and there won't be any parking available for our meeting, so we are going virtual. The roundtable and the program will have separate Zoom registration links. We hope to "see" you at both sessions.
11:00 am Roundtable Discussion Topic: Family History Crafts - Led by Bob McDonald, who will share some family crafts from his family. Attendees are invited to show something or a photo of the item from home that they or a family member has created. You will need to hold the item up in front of your face or stand back from your camera for us to see the item. If you have a photo of it, have the image up on your screen, and you will be able to share the photo on Zoom. REGISTER
12:00 pm Lunch on your own at home
1:00 pm Program: Family History Quilts - Jeanie W. C. Low, a genealogical lecturer and quilt designer, is also an award-winning quilt artist in the SF Bay Area.
