GENEALOGY RESOURCES 
Sister Societies

Questing Heirs is a wonderful genealogical society, but we are not the only club in Southern California devoted to studying family history—far from it. Our sister societies meet in Torrance, Whittier, Yorba Linda, Huntington Beach, Burbank, Mission Viejo, and several other cities in the greater Los Angeles area; and, each one of them is a genealogy resource that we treasure. In fact, your QHGS Blogger will be attending a meeting of the Whittier Area Genealogical Society today!

Genealogy clubs are just like people: they start out young and vibrant, and they age slowly over decades. Some of them become productive contributors to their communities, and some simply become complacent, doing the same things in the same ways, over and over again. If your club is looking for new ways to conduct meetings, new interfaces to connect with younger people, and new projects to engage members, try visiting other societies in your area to learn what they do. There’s nothing like experiencing first-hand how another genealogy club handles its meeting agenda, organizes its membership drives, and chooses its program speakers.

SOCIETY NOTE: If you have volunteered for a genealogy club position you have not held before, contact the people who hold that position in other societies near you, and ask for help. Genealogists are always ready to lend a hand, give advice, and help you do a good job.
