VGA Hangouts is an opportunity to “hangout” with other VGA members while working on your own family tree!
When: Saturday, January 6th, 2024 at 11:00am Eastern
Topic: Create Your Own Locality Guide
VGA Members can find the Zoom Registration Link in the Upcoming Webinars area of the Members Center.
Optional preparation before the Hangout:
- Watch the recording of our VGA December program “Where in the World? How to Tackle a New Research Location” by Cheri Hudson Passey.
- Read chapter three in “Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist’s Guide” by Diana Elder, AG with Nicole Dyer.
- ProGen Study Groups alumni can access hundreds of example submissions within the resources area of their website.
- Read “Creating and Using Locality Guides as Genealogical Tools” by Jan Joyce, DBA, CG, CGL, AG in the NGS Magazine July-September 2022, Volume 48, Number 3.
- Google “Genealogy Locality Guide” and find multiple blogs about the subject!

Was wondering if occasionally, we could have a hangout which is 7pm EST so that Australians can hang out too…as it would be 11am here….not 3am
Yes, our next Hangout will be at 8pm Eastern. We will definitely move the times around to try to include different time zones. Thank you!
