Welcome to SGES

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - January 2022 

The first in-person SGES monthly meeting is scheduled for January 8, 2022.  The meeting will be held at the Jacksonville Public Library located on Kori Road in Mandarin at 10:00 am.  The speaker will be Dr. Brent Mai from the University of North Florida. Dr. Mai’s subject will be “Volga Germans.”  We will practice social distancing as much as possible and we encourage everyone to wear a mask. We will not have a sign-in sheet at this meeting to further encourage social distancing.

The Newsletter this month discusses information about the 1950 Census that will be released in April 2022.  The Tennessee Genealogical Society has also scheduled a webinar for January 18th regarding the 1950 Census.  The registration fee is $5.00 for this webinar.  Please check the SGES website for registration information.

Hope everyone continues to be safe and healthy!

Sincerely,

Carol Clay, President
