Chula Vista Genealogy Society General Meeting

"My Visit to Scotland:

What I Did Right and What I Did Wrong"

Presented by: Diane Gould Hall

Due to concern about the corona virus, the city of Chula Vista has closed all libraries.

All CVGS meetings are cancelled at these facilities until further notice. As soon as we have any updates, our members will be notified.

So, join us this month for our general meeting on ZOOM virtual meeting with Diane Gould Hall presenting.

If you are not already receiving invitations to our ZOOM meetings please contact Randy Seaver at: randy.seaver@gmail.com and request your invitation.

This presentation will cover why Diane wanted to go to Scotland, her preparations and itinerary, the wonderful genealogy research finds, the problems encountered, and the sightseeing. The preparation and information she will discuss are applicable to any genealogy trip in the U.S. or abroad.

Diane Gould Hall is a member of the Mayflower Society, DAR, the San Diego Genealogical Society, the North San Diego County Genealogical Society, and the Aberdeen & North-East Scotland History Society. She has been researching her family for over 18 years, and writes about it in her excellent blog, Michigan Family Trails (http://www.michiganfamilytrails.com/)

She has had incredible successes researching her family history. One of the biggest was due to a post she made on Rootsweb. A long lost brother was able to find her. In doing so he was able to meet their Mom (who had given him up for adoption as a baby). It was a wonderful, happy reunion for both mother and son that lasted ten years prior to her death. That brother and Diane are now very close friends.

Diane's hobbies, besides genealogy, include traveling, caring for her horses and reading. She is happily married and retired. She thinks genealogy is the most interesting and rewarding hobby there is.

This program will be held online using the Zoom video conferencing platform for meetings and webinars. A Zoom meeting invitation will be sent via email to members a few days before the event. See page 3 of the June 2020 newsletter for help with Zoom.

Attendance is free but only 100 seat are available so please register soon.
