Join us for our next Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County meeting! It will be held on Sunday, January 25 at 1:30pm. We'll start with a short business meeting, then:

👨‍💻 Adam Oster will present via Zoom, “Which Family Tree Grows Best? A Comparative Look at Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage.” A helpful handout will be available during and after the meeting.

After the presentation, we’ll break into small Zoom groups to chat about using Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage—with one platform per breakout room, so you can join the discussion that interests you most.
