Temecula Valley Historical Society announces a genealogy presentation

Laurice Johnson, an avid genealogist and active member of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society, is giving a two-part presentation to the Temecula Valley Historical Society on August 28 and September 25 at the Little Temecula History Center.

Johnson will give details on how to “Get Ready to Get Started” for people interested in starting to trace their family trees. She will discuss resources available in the free Familysearch.org website, how to use WIKI, and the pros and cons of using the World Tree. At the end of the August program

Johnson will guide the audience in an activity with the app Relative Finder to see if anyone in the audience may be related to one another.

Johnson grew up in a family that discussed their ancestors around the dinner table and she heard a lot of stories about her predecessors. As an adult she was shocked to learn her husband’s knowledge was limited to what his grandmother’s name was. That was 30 years ago and Johnson has been actively researching since then. The public is welcome to attend

The Little Temecula History Center is the red barn next to Kohls at the corner of Redhawk Parkway and Wolf Store Road. The two presentations will also be live streamed on the Temecula Valley Historical Society’s Facebook page.
