Saturday, April 18
OGS Spring Seminar (Seminars)
9:30 am to 4:00 pm Northwood Christian Church, 2425 Harvest Lane, Springfield, OR 97477
When: Saturday, April 18, 2019
Time: 9:55 am - 4:00 pm (doors open at 9:30 am)
Speaker: Pam Vestal
Pam Vestal is a professional genealogist and speaker from West Linn, Oregon, and the owner of Generations Genealogy, LLC. After 20 years as a professional writer, Pam turned her full attention to her longtime love of genealogy. Since that time, her articles have appeared in the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly and FGS's Forum Magazine, and her lectures take her all over the country.
TOPICS:
Genealogy for Beginners and Beyond
In this class, we'll explore the fascinating field of genealogy as we unearth the clues to our ancestral past. We'll analyze the records our ancestors left behind and learn how to use them to bring the past to life. From online resources we can use at home to more distant collections, we'll discuss where to find the clues to our ancestors' stories, what to do with the information, and how to make sure we don't find ourselves barking up the wrong family tree! This class is suitable for those who are new to genealogy, but includes methodology that can help intermediates as well.
Finding What You Need and Making the Most of What You Find
With so much information available to us today, it can be hard to know how to find what we seek, or what to do with it after we've found it. Discover an assortment of techniques that can help you search the internet more successfully, extract those useful genealogical nuggets from your documents, organize what you've found, and evaluate your evidence. We'll look at tools for locating overlooked records, understanding codes in documents, recovering missing websites, finding evidence of name changes, and much more.
What the Heck Does That Say?: The Challenge of Difficult Handwriting
Deciphering the handwriting in old documents can be difficult, but a few good strategies can make all the difference. We'll look at a variety of ways to figure out what the chicken scratches on the page say, but also what the style of writing can tell us about our ancestors.
Finding the Story Hidden Behind the Genealogical Facts
Our ancestors were real people with passions, problems, loves, and controversies, but the bare facts of genealogy, those important names, dates, and places, don't give us much sense of who these people were or what their lives were like. Learn to dig deeply into the genealogical details to breathe life into your ancestors' stories.

Heritage Tea (Training)
3:00 pm to 5:00 pm Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High Street, Eugene, Oregon
This event has been postponed until a later date can be verified. Refunds are available for those that have already registered. Please contact us to request yours.
On May 2nd of this year, OGS will bring to life the custom of afternoon tea, a tradition that finds its origins and form in 19th-century England’s finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, petite sweets, hot tea, and great conversation. Our afternoon tea will offer these enticements and more.
In 2018 Ferne Kellow, long-time member of OGS, donated sets of depression glass to OGS. We are excited to use her gift to furnish the tea tables. Expect table settings in translucent pink, yellow, green, and crystal. Ferne’s dishes will also set the tone and fix the era of our celebration. In keeping with our organization’s historical bent, our program and décor will reflect a tea that could have occurred in the 1930s as the United States was climbing out of the Depression.
No special attire is required; however, we ask you to wear one item that can be dated to the 1930s. There WILL be a prize for the best embellishment! We request the honor of your presence; in addition, please invite friends or family to join you at your table. (Most tables seat four people.) The cost per person is $20. The tea is a fundraiser for OGS. Tickets will be sold through April 18. A maximum of 50 tickets will be sold so purchase early!
To R.S.V.P. for the tea, complete the form below and return it and your payment no later than April 18 to the Oregon Genealogical Society, 955 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR 97401, ATTENTION: Heritage Tea. Reservations are final when both the form and payment have been received.
