The Colonial Study Group will meet on Zoom on Monday, February 9th at 10 am. Our subject for this month is “Rethinking Colonial America: taking a broader look at who was in Continental America during the colonial period.” The host will discuss the different nationalities who came to America and their backgrounds during the colonial period.
Registration is required to join our meeting! Please register at Colonial Study Group Registration. You will receive the Zoom link for this meeting after you register!
Colonial Group will get “back to the basics” and be much more expansive and include more information. If you have ideas for the group, please share them with us!
The Colonial Group actively works on genealogical research of the Colonial Period from early immigration in the 1600s until our country became the United States. We address how to overcome challenges of tracing colonial ancestors, colonial history & social timelines, identifying resources, learning history of the original 13 colonies and their towns, look at immigration and migration, and address issues such as: Why our ancestors and/or their family might have suddenly disappeared? Where and why did they go? How did they get there? And, how do I find people when there are no records? The Colonial Group is educational, helpful and interesting.
Colonial Group will focus on new skills for researching colonial ancestors and our ‘LCGS Colonial Challenge’. If you want to get an idea of what our LCGS Colonial Challenge will look like, go to YouTube and watch the ‘WikiTree Challenge’. Watch their videos. They are good. Then join the Colonial Group to set up your own Colonial Challenge. The purpose of our Challenge is to help break down brick walls, learn about colonial research methods, make our research more accurate and complete, and have fun.
