The Solano County Genealogical Society will host a virtual Speaker Series presentation on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Our speaker is Lisa S. Gorrell. The topic is: "How to leave your Genealogy"
What to do with your genealogy research? Some in paper form, some as digital files. What to do with all that research when you pass on. You might have a relative that will continue the research. Or you might be able to donate it to a library of a historical society. Ms. Gorrell will discuss why now is the time to make a plan to increase the chance that your work is saved for future generations.
Lisa has been researching family histories for over 30 years. She is a Certified Genealogist®, a graduate of the ProGen program, and an alumna of many genealogical institutes. Her areas of expertise include southern states and Texas; California, Montana, and Oregon; 18th & 19th-century German research; and 18th & 19th-century Swedish research. Lisa has served on boards of several genealogical societies and was the recording secretary with the Contra Costa County Historical Society, where she volunteers at their archives in Martinez. She is also a founding member and instructor of the online Applied Genealogy Institute (https://appliedgen.institute).
