WELCOME
Our Society provides a lively forum for resource sharing, mutual assistance, and instruction for those interested in family history and genealogy. Beginners as well as more experienced genealogists profit from monthly lectures on topics relating to genealogy. Since our origin in 1988 at the Joint Free Public Library of Morristown and Morris Township, our Society has grown and we now meet at the Morris County Library*, 30 East Hanover Ave., Whippany, NJ on the first Tuesday evening of the month. Visitors are welcome at our monthly meetings. Refreshments are served at 6:30; the program begins at 7:00. If a monthly meeting needs to be cancelled, every effort is made by the MAGS Board to notify the Morris County Library before 3 pm, with a cancellation notification posted on this page of this website. When in doubt, please call the Morris County Library directly. Among the benefits of membership are a subscription to the quarterly Morris Area Genealogy Society Newsletter and participation in our Special Interest Groups which focus on particular challenges and topics such as research strategies in a smaller, less formal setting. Members are encouraged to volunteer their time and share their expertise by serving on committees. *Directions to the Library. Telephone number: 973-285-6930. |

Perfect Together: Facebook & Genealogy: Michelle Chubenko
Over the decades genealogists have communicated with fellow researchers using whatever tools were available, from newsletter queries to online message boards. Enter the 21st century and 'social media'! Learn tips and techniques to use the newest genealogical tool -- Facebook -- from document translations to research questions to connecting with family. Michelle will show you how to effectively use Facebook for your genealogical research without getting lost in your newsfeed or overrun by notifications. You will learn about joining Groups and following Pages for your areas of interest, whether it's a specific ethnicity or a geographic area, and learn tips for managing your level of interaction. Professional genealogist Michelle Chubenko has over 27 years’ experience in researching families in New Jersey, Maryland, SW Virginia, and Oklahoma/Indian Territories, plus European countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Austria, and Germany. Ms. Chubenko is the founder and lead researcher of JerseyRoots Genealogy and blogs at https://jerseyrootsgenealogy.wordpress.com. |
