Meetings
Starting
in January 2008, the regular meetings of the St. Tammany Genealogical
Society are being held on the
second Saturday of the month
from 10:00 AM to approximately Noon in the meeting room of the Covington Branch
of the St. Tammany Parish Library (STPL). Meetings are normally not held during
the summer months of June, July and August. However, an informal
social gathering (picnic) is typically scheduled for June and a field trip to a local
library is often scheduled during July or August.
The St. Tammany Genealogical Society sponsors genealogical workshops at the Covington Branch Library when there is sufficient interest. The workshops focus on using the computer and the Internet to conduct genealogical research and to document the results.
The STGS Regular Meetings include a Genealogy Q & A session on important current genealogy topics when no speaker is scheduled. Reservations are not required, except as noted.
Please join us at our next meeting, field trip, workshop or function!
