Have a wonderful summer everyone. We will be back for our first 2025-26 meeting September 8th via Zoom 7pm.
Genealogists in the Park will be meeting at Guisachan Heritage Park, 1060 Cameron Avenue – July 16 and August 20th – bring a folding chair and a beverage; prepare to share your genealogy discoveries and frustrations!

Topic: Exploring Irish Records – Not Everything was burned! Presenter, Eunice Robinson of the BC Genealogical Society
One of the myths about researching in Ireland is that no records exist, and it is impossible to find your family.  This presentation is intended to dispel that myth.  And to share some resources so that you can have a successful search.
Eunice Robinson is a member of the British Columbia Genealogical Society, and the facilitator of the Irish Senior Interest Group.  She has been researching her family history for over 50 years.

Family History Forums (FHF) are a partnership presentation series of the Kelowna & District Genealogical Society and the Okanagan Regional Library. The topics vary but are typically at the beginner’s level in Family History research. All are welcome to these FREE Zoom presentations, but pre-registration is required through the ORL’s Events Calendar. When registering, be sure to enter your email address correctly and watch for the email from the ORL to confirm your registration. The Zoom link and handout will be emailed to you the day before the presentation. No FHF in July, August or December.

Our June Social is WEDNESDAY, June 4, 7pm at Reid’s Hall (Benvoulin Heritage Church, 2279 Benvoulin Rd). This is a members-only event.
