Volunteers are very helpful! I could find no documentation that my Grandmother entered the country. The volunteer found it in seemingly seconds! Also, I knew I had a great uncle who went to Canada but maybe I was looking in the wrong area (Montreal). The volunteer found his gravestone picture, near Toronto! I have other needs such as repairing my family tree on Ancestry.Com to move people who appear on several generational levels. Merging doesnt work. The instructions seem strange. So Ill be asking for help.The meetings, pre-CV19, were informative and often relevant to my continuing work on my family tree, now focused on my Maternal side. Thanks!

Learned so much at these events

L-AGS was the first genealogy society I joined. I hesitated because I dont have any ancestors in this area, but Im so glad I joined. The meetings feature top-notch speakers and the members and board are filled with great information and help.

This group is absolutely awesome. I wanted to start researching my family history and didnt know where to start. My mom had mentioned she saw a booth from this company at the alameda county fair and thought they might be a good place to get help.I checked out their website and say that they offered free 1 on 1 help at the Pleasanton Library. I went and it probably saved me months of learning how to properly research my family records and what the best tools and websites are to use.They did this all for free! They also have monthly meetings with featured speakers. While not required; consider supporting them with a $20 donation to become a member. They are a 501(c)(3) charity.:)

I love working with the L-AGS organization. They inspire me to do more. The group is very dynamic and the enthusiasm is contagious.
