Engaging the Next Generation

This event is presented by the Palm Springs Genealogical Society with guest speaker Laurice Johnson . This FREE program will be from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in The Learning Center.  

Laurice Johnson grew up in a family that loved talking about ‘the folks’ around the dinner table. At her grandmother’s dinner table, she heard lots of stories about her ancestors. She knew all about her great grandparents and THEIR grandparents. Her parents actively researched their family history for many years. After her son was born and she was filling out the family tree in his baby book, she asked her husband what his grandmother’s name was. Imagine her surprise when he responded “Grandma Schutt” – and knew nothing else about her. That was thirty years ago and she has been actively researching since then – not only her own families, but also many others. Laurice has been an active member of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society since its inception and lives in Menifee.
