Beginner Genealogy January Class: Set Yourself Up for a Successful Genealogy Year

Beginner Genealogy Classes

We’ll focus on simple, beginner-friendly ways to get organized, understand why source citations matter (without making them complicated), and create a clear plan for tackling one specific ancestor.

We’ll also talk about common genealogy roadblocks—those moments when records disappear or ancestors seem to vanish—and introduce practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear way to organize your files, sources, and photos
  • One focus ancestor to work on
  • A written research question
  • A few realistic next steps you can take right away

No pressure to be perfect. No need to have everything figured out. Just come ready to reset, refocus, and move forward.

Greetings from Lubbock: A Postcard History

Local historian Cindy Martin with her friend Sally Abbe has been collecting Lubbock postcards for years and she shares many of them in this presentation. Since Lubbock is primarily a twentieth and now twenty-first century city the popularity of postcards after 1901 makes the medium a logical method of documenting the town’s development, expansion and history.

The images as well as the messages relayed offer a unique, often personal look at the past. This presentation will look at Lubbock’s history through postcards from the earliest real photo postcards to those found for sale today.
