Our regular monthly meetings are taking a little summer vacation!

The South Plains Genealogical Society will not hold meetings in June, July, or August (that means no 2nd Saturday gatherings for a few months).

But don’t worry—we’re still around and happy to help.

🔍 Need Help This Summer?

You can still connect with us at the Mahon Library in the Genealogy Department:

📅 Every Thursday
⏰ 1:00–3:00 PM

Bring your questions, your research puzzles, or just stop by to say hello. Whether you're stuck on a “brick wall” or just getting started, we’re here for you.

You can also reach out by email anytime—we’re always just a message away.

Back to Meetings in September

We’ll be back together for our regular monthly meeting on:

📅 Saturday, September 12th

We can’t wait to see everyone again and hear what you’ve discovered over the summer!

June Class: Google Stalking Your Ancestors (Ethically!)

Think Google is just for everyday searches? Think again. In this class, you’ll learn how to turn Google into a powerful genealogy research tool.

We’ll walk through simple but effective search techniques that help you uncover hidden records, old books, maps, and even connections to long-lost relatives. You’ll discover how to search smarter—not harder—and start finding information that doesn’t always show up in traditional genealogy websites.

This is a hands-on session, so you’ll get to practice in real time using your own ancestor (or a sample if you’re just getting started). By the end of the night, you’ll have new tools, new ideas, and likely a few surprising discoveries.
