Our Club Emails…
As a member you will receive a few emails from us each month. Please make sure Mailchimp, Zoom, and Main Line Genealogy (mainlinegenealogyclub@gmail.com) are recognized as safe email senders by your email provider or else our messages may end up in your spam/junk folder. If you are not seeing our emails, please check your spam/junk folder then contact us!
About two weeks before each meeting, you will receive a reminder email providing details on the topic for the upcoming meeting. To register for the meeting, you will need to click the registration button for each program on our Programs page.
Each meeting you register for, you will receive:
-
an email to confirm your successful registration for the meeting and the Zoom link. *Please do not share this Zoom link. Each link is individualized. Each registrant must go through the registration process to get their own link.
-
a reminder email a few days before the meeting (sent from MLGC/Zoom)
-
an email that includes the speaker’s handout. *Please note that ALL handouts are provided for our members only. They should not be shared with others as they are copyrighted property of the author/speaker. You are welcome to print out the handout for your own personal use.
-
A post-meeting email which includes a link to an 8-question survey about the meeting. Please take a few minutes to give us feedback and any ideas on future presentations.
Our Club Website…
We encourage you to use our website, which has additional genealogy resources, information about our upcoming programs, and past newsletters.
How can we provide such GREAT Genealogy content!?
All expenses of the Club are covered by member donations, which are greatly appreciated! We couldn’t provide great content month after month without donations from our members. All Planning Committee members are volunteers, so all donations go towards providing Club services and Speaker fees. Payments are accepted via credit card, PayPal, Google Pay or personal check. Please consider supporting the Club!
See you at the next meeting!
