Contra Costa County Genealogical Society Meeting

The Contra Costa County Genealogical Society will meet February 14, 2013, 7:00 p.m. at the LDS Church, 1360 Alberta Way, Concord. The featured speaker will be Janice Sellers speaking on the topics "Vital Records” and the “Calendar Change of 1752”.


The Vital Records segment introduces the wealth of information found in birth, marriage, and death records. Learn how to obtain vital records created at the various levels of the U.S. government: federal, state, county, and town. The talk will cover not only the usual places researchers look for vital records but some unusual sources you probably wouldn’t think of.


There will also be a discussion of the calendar change of 1752 (and similar changes in other countries) and how it affects genealogical research.
