Chelmsford Genealogy Club

The Chelmsford Genealogy Club

Welcome to the Chelmsford Genealogy Club, a friendly group of people who share an interest in genealogy. We meet monthly to hear lectures and share information with each other. We meet usually on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00-8:45 p.m.-in the McCarthy Meeting Room on the main floor of the Chelmsford Library. At times, our meeting dates vary to accommodate the availability of speakers.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, June 5th, 7:00 p.m. at the Chelmsford Library. Our speaker
will be Jeff Carpenter who will present Introduciton to DNA Research. Read more about this program at www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/programs/programs/jeff_carpenter.html

All of our meetings are free and open to the public. We invite your participation no matter if you live in, near or far from Chelmsford.

The club started in 1999 after a few of us attended a Chelmsford Recreation class on
genealogy. Our email membership has grown to 170 email addresses. Meetings generally
draw about 20 attendees; not the same people each month.

If you would like to be on our E-mail list you may go directly to the library website and click
on RSS feeds (in lower right corner) and select Chelmsford Genealogy Club. You can unsubscribe
at any time.

Our cancellation policy:
If we need to cancel for weather or a chance our lecturer cannot attend it will be posted on the Chelmsford Library Web site on the main page.
I also will try to send an email out with the information.

Surname Database:
We started a surname database last year with our members. This is a way to find new
ancestors and to share yours. We are looking for this to expand so we are going to open it
up to the community. If you are interested please add your names today or later send to
Norm at linoro@comcast.net. You can access the database from the library website under
the Chelmsford Genealogy Club.
