The next meeting of the Pagosa Peak Genealogical Society (PPGS) will be held on Saturday, Jan. 6, at 10 a.m. at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street (enter through the side door from the parking lot).
Our featured speaker, via Zoom, will be Katherine Scott Sturdevant, who was scheduled for our meeting last month that, due to technical issues, was canceled.
The topic by Sturdevant is “Our Ancestor’s Seasonal Lives: Discerning and Describing their Social and Work practices from Social and Regional History Sources.”
This presentation will focus on the role of seasonal changes in the life patterns of ethnic and regional groups, teaching how we can use the genuine and general experiences and patterns of life for people like our ancestors to present their lives in more accurate and historically significant ways.
Sturdevant is the senior professor of history at Pikes Peak State College in Colorado Springs. She has presented programs for PPGS numerous times in-person and by Zoom.
If you wish to take part by Zoom, contact Dan Senjem for login information at (970) 398-0214 or desenjem@yahoo.com.
There will be a business meeting following the presentation, including new officers beginning their terms. Visitors, especially young people, are welcome and encouraged to attend to learn more about the group. We have a wide range of experienced members to help in your search of your ancestors.
So, bring your coffee cup and notepad to take in the information to be presented.
