SUMMARY:SCAG Meeting - Anne Hanson\, "Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida"
DESCRIPTION:When Anne Hanson’s dad first asked her to investigate the secret past of his parents\, little did she know what she was getting into. Numerous genealogical searches and traditional sources failed to reveal even a speck of evidence that the families of her grandparents\, Frank and Ida Hanson\, had ever existed. Finally\, after two decades of dogged research\, Anne unearthed her grandparents’ true identities and the secrets they took to their graves. While her new book\, Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida\, is one of suspense\, it also celebrates love and family. Her genealogical research helped to heal familial wounds and gave her father the answers he had longed for his entire life. \nHanson will present “Buried Secrets: Looking for Frank and Ida – a Genealogical Webinar” for the St. Cloud Area Genealogists on Tuesday\, January 16\, 2024 at 7 p.m. at Stearns History Museum (235 33rd Ave S.\, St. Cloud). The presentation will also be available online and will be recorded for members of SCAG and registered guests. For more information about online availability\, email scag@stcloudareagen.org. \nAnne Hanson crossed the ocean for her African Studies degree\, and as a reporter\, would drive endless miles across town to get the story. Anne has written for the Boston Globe and numerous newspapers\, as well as for corporate publications and the New England Historic Genealogical Society’s American Ancestors magazine. She lives with her husband in Brookline\, Massachusetts. \nThis event is free for SCAG members\, $7 for non-members (to register email kmsauer@ymail.com).

SUMMARY:St. Cloud Area Genealogists - What the Heck Does That Say?
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest hurdles to overcome in genealogy is the seemingly illegible handwriting in our ancestors’ records.

Vestal’s articles have been published in the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly\, the National Genealogical Society Magazine and Forum magazine. She specializes in conducting genealogical research and then transforming the information into illustrated stories that even non-genealogists can enjoy. \nTuesday\, April 18\, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. (CST)\nFree for members\, $7 for non-members (to register email kmsauer@ymail.com)\nOnline & at the Stearns History Museum\nfacebook.com/stcloudareagenealogists

DESCRIPTION:Save the date for SCAG’s September meetup “Finding Family in the 1950 U.S. Census” with presenter Mary Wickersham. Tuesday\, September 20 @ 7pm. \nMany genealogists know that images of the 1950 U.S. Census of Population and Housing were made available online on April 1\, 2022.

The presentation will be offered synchronously online. Wickersham will show participants how to use the National Archives and Records Administration’s artificial intelligence-based index\, other online indexes as well as offer tips for finding family you can’t find in the indexes. \nMary Wickersham has been a researcher for more than 25 years and is an avid genealogy volunteer. She is a longtime member of and volunteer for the Minnesota Genealogical Society and the Irish Genealogical Society International and has served on the boards of both organizations. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
