Our Events
Genealogy Friends sponsors many activities for members and guests:
Saturday Seminars - The seminars are FREE and are held at the W.O. Haggard, Jr. Library, 2501 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, in the first floor Program Room. Doors open at 10:15 a.m. Registration is not necessary. The content is suitable for all levels of genealogy research so bring your friends to learn and have fun at the same time! As always, donations are gladly accepted!
Learn-N’s – Learn-N’s are morning sessions, usually with 2 topics, to help you with tools, techniques and methods for your genealogy research. They are held at the W.O. Haggard, Jr. Library, 2501 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, in the first floor Program Room. Space is limited. A $10.00 donation would be appreciated. Donations are used to purchase materials for the Genealogy section of the Haggard Library.
All-Day Workshops – Hosted once or twice a year, workshops provide a more in-depth study of topics to help you with your research.
Retreats – Join us on a Research Retreat and learn the tips of researching at a specific repository. Especially if this is your first time, experienced genealogists will help guide you in your research and how to use the collections. You will need to arrange your own airfare and hotel (but we usually have negotiated a special hotel rate).
Social Fundraisers – Genealogy Friends and restaurants have teamed up to raise money for the genealogy collection. A portion of your bill will be donated to Genealogy Friends. Other social events are occasionally planned.
