Welcome to the website of CGS !
WE’RE BACK!!
Join us IN PERSON on 2 August: 6:15-7:45 pm, PDT (Social “hour” from 6:00-6:15; Business from 6:15-6:30). LEN ENLOW WILL BE PRESENTING ON “NON-POPULATION CENSUS SCHEDULES” (Note: adjusted time to accommodate Library hours)
While we had hoped that these general meetings would be hybrid programs to accommodate those uncomfortable with meeting in person; at this time there is no virtual option for that or our Tuesday classes. All in-person gatherings will follow basic protocol:
Fully vaccinated persons need not wear masks, unless they choose; if not fully vaccinated (with 2 weeks since second vaccination, if required), please wear masks. Avoid touching (fist bumps and elbow taps instead of hand-shakes) and maintain respectful distance (not everyone is comfortable with close proximity). Thank you.
If you are not on our mailing list or connected to our Facebook page, contact Sylvia Barnett (slybar2000 [at] yahoo [dot]com ) to join us (in-person or virtually) and information will be sent. Meanwhile, we will continue with the videos over the next 2 months; they are recorded or shared specifically for our use and require access to the Members Only page. This calls for a current password (changed 1 April 2021) to enter. Programs will be available for personal use only.
Questions? Concerns? We have our own email address now: CoronaGeneaSoc@gmail.com
UNTIL 24 AUGUST!
A new video is available from 26 July to 24 August 2021 (therein, and/or, about):

Your board continues to meet and plan for the continued genealogical education of its members. Meetings, via Zoom, take place the third Monday of every month. Open to all members. To join us or ask us to add something to the agenda, contact Jean Hibben (circlemending – at – gmail – dot – com) – put “CGS Board meeting” in the “subject” heading.

Once we resume in-person meetings, they will be held at the 
CORONA PUBLIC LIBRARY
650 S. Main St. (at 6th), Corona, CA 92882
Meetings are held in the Community Room, the first Monday of every month* from 6:30 – 8:30pm.
To network, get to know each other, or receive/give genealogical research assistance, “early birds” are welcome to gather at 6:00pm. ——————-
*in the event that the first Monday is a holiday, the meeting is automatically “bumped” to the second Monday (or scheduled for the prior Monday).. The society is open to anyone who wishes to research his/her family history. Monthly programs are offered to assist us in successfully identifying our ancestors of all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, religions, etc. Members are also encouraged to assist others by presenting a topic that will be of interest to the rest of the group and participating in the various projects the society hosts.
CEREMONIAL “PASSING OF THE GAVEL” was from Al Southern back to Jean Hibben and looked a lot like the photo below . . . except it happened “virtually” on 5 April 2021 (this 2019 photo by Len Enlow). THANK YOU to Al for being our president during this difficult time and letting then 1st VP Jean Hibben handle the Zoom board meetings from May 2020 – March 2021 (see screen shot above).
