Northeastern SIG
General Information
Hi, I'm Joanne Schmidt and I am the Coordinator of the Northeastern Special Interest Group. Currently, our group also includes the Mid-Atlantic states. The group meets the third Thursday of the month from Noon until 1:30pm at the SeaBreeze Recreation Center in the New Smyrna Room. There are no meetings scheduled for June through August. For the most up-to-date information on meetings and topics, check the Coming Events page on our website.
The goal of the Northeastern SIG is to help all members achieve their research goals, and to make sure members are aware of the resources in each state or region that can provide factual insights to their ancestors' lives.
Members can share information about their ancestors and receive input from other group members concerning where and how to focus their efforts to reach their individual research goals. Bringing your laptop computers to meetings is encouraged so that new techniques or use of new resources can be conducted in a group setting where members are encouraged to share their knowledge to assist others with research. You must be a member of The Villages Genealogical Society (VGS) to participate in our meetings. Membership information can be found HERE.
Meeting Location: SeaBreeze Recreation Center, 2384 Buena Vista Blvd.
