Genealogy Panel Discussion with Questions & Answers
The Montgomery County Chapter OGS has the honor of hosting a genealogy panel discussion, along with a question-and-answer session, on June 13 at the normally scheduled meeting time. The panel discussion will feature experienced genealogists sharing short stories about their own genealogical paths, discussing strategies on researching, organizing, and publishing family histories, and covering topics such as DNA analysis and breaking through “brick walls.”
Come prepared to not only ask questions about your own roadblocks, but to find out more on topics such as:
- Self-Publishing: Tips on organizing research, choosing narratives, and publishing family histories
- AI and Technology: Using AI as an assistant to analyze DNA, interpret records, and accelerate your research
- Engagement Strategies: Methods for getting family members interested in genealogy

America at 250: Researching Your Revolutionary Ancestors with Scott Norrick
2026 marks the 250-year anniversary of America’s signing of the Declaration of Independence. At the time of America’s independence, the population of the American colonies was about 2.5 million. While 1776 is a pivotal year, the war for independence (the Revolutionary War) was fought from 1775-1783. About 200 thousand Americans served in the Patriots’ cause in some capacity. This presentation will provide a deep dive into discovering and researching your revolutionary ancestors. It is an exciting time to jump in and learn as much as you can about your revolutionary ancestors!
