Why join a local genealogical society/club?

This is a short video covering 8 Reasons why a person should join a Genealogy Soc. Worth a look as a reminder of why people do so, what they expect, and how we could advertise ourselves.

“History remembers only the celebrated; genealogy remembers them all.”

MISSION GENEALOGY CLUB operates within the facilities of the LifeTime Learning Centre (the LTLC), and, in compliance with the directive of the LYLC (see MGC Events Tab) and the pandemic Covid-19 directives of our governments and health care personnel, we will follow the day-to-day developments and act accordingly.

Please stay home, practice recommended hygiene rituals and implement physical distancing where necessary. Please return to our MGC web page often for further developments.

Most of our club members are senior citizens - I hope you are all well. This is a challenging time. For those of you who are not aware the BC government has increased both volunteer and funded services for seniors through the 211 phone line. They hope to link volunteers with seniors to coordinate services like home delivery of groceries, medications etc. Apparently there are many people looking for ways to help seniors and this initiative is to try and link them with seniors in their community who are needing help or feeling vulnerable. The link below is to a CBC article that outlines some of the details of the program.

Stay well,
