For 2024, we added an additional SIG group: Native American Ancestry and Research SIG. This topic has been a popular class which has been given periodically; but the subject matter deserves an on-going discussion. The DNA and a Technology Special Interest Groups (SIG) have been consolidated to a single Zoom meeting each month, though the topics (DNA or Technology) will alternate each month. The DNA and Technology SIGs are conducted in the virtual world using ZOOM. Our successful Genealogy Talk SIG, which has been meeting for several years, is growing in popularity. Genealogy Talk is in person in the Wichita Public Library.
SIG Meetings are for Members Only, one of the benefits of being a member of the Wichita Genealogical Society. Click here for a complete printable schedule for 2024 (PDF).
