WELCOME TO ST. CLAIR COUNTY GENEALOGY & HISTORY SOCIETY
WHAT'S NEW?
Our Society is now fully open to the public again! It has been a long journey sense COVID, but we have come out of it with more knowledge then when we went in. With that we are changing a few things in our Society; Zoom programs will continue but for members only. We also have decided to put a cost on mailed newsletters so check out our updated Membership Form on this cost. We want to remind everyone to check out the Event page for upcoming programs. We are still available through email, and our Facebook page for any questions you need.
Thanks you
SCCGHS Board of Directors

“WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH YOUR DNA RESULTS”
Presented by Past SCCGHS President, Cheri Smith- Smigielski
Past SCCGHS President, Cheri Smith- Smigielski, will introduce how to use your raw DNA data to organize your research, including transferring the results to other genealogy platforms to compare results and potentially find more matches.
Cheri would like to do an open forum with attendees. So, if you are able, would you please bring your DNA questions about your own research/results? She plans to show everyone how to do research and what to do when you need to solve a DNA related situation. Cheri will show attendees how to work with other platforms and what to do when you are stuck.
