MEETINGS – Membership meetings are  held the first Sunday of October-November  and January-May, the last Sunday of August and the second Sunday of June. There is no meeting held in December. Meetings are usually held in the meeting hall at the York County History Center on 250 East Market Street, York. Meetings can also be attended by Zoom or through the  York History Center Facebook.  Meetings are recorded and can be viewed  Occasionally the meeting will be held at an alternative location. The location of each meeting is announced in our newsletter, on our website, the York History Center website, and our  Facebook page. When a holiday falls on the first Sunday of the month, the meeting date is moved either forward or back a week.  Monthly meetings begin at 2:30 P.M. and are preceded by a brief business meeting  prior to the presentation. 

Ideas and suggestions for future programs, events and activities are always welcome.  The time before the meeting is an excellent time to socialize, network, and “ catch-up” with the genealogical activities of other members.

NEWSLETTERS – Members receive a bi-monthly newsletter – “Our Name’s the Game”. Included in the newsletter are announcements of future programs and events, notices of events and publications by other organizations, and articles related to genealogical research.
