The Capital District Genealogical Society is sponsoring a continuing round of monthly gatherings of members interested in working on creating narratives of their family history.  Make your research come alive for others to truly enjoy reading!

The group began in the Fall of 2021 and welcomes additional writers to join in and share their writings with guidance by retired English Professor, Paul Lamar.

Meetings are scheduled for the following Saturdays beginning in September of 2025 at 10:00 am:

September 13, October 18, November 22, (No December Date), January 10 and February 14, 2026. 

Fee: $35

Typically, Paul Lamar suggests a prompt or cue to inspire a fresh look into whatever aspect of family history the writers are working on.  Participants are free to continue working on pieces already started, or to embark on a new line using the prompt or not.  Paul reviews the work and suggests portions of people’s work to be read at the meeting for discussion.  

Registrants are charged $35 to enroll in this program.   This includes additional work that Paul does between meetings on our behalf.

Don’t let your research languish in file folders or boxes on the shelf!  Learn to tell the tale of your family’s history.
