We've Moved!!!

We've grown a lot in the six years since our humble beginnings in August 2011. This blog was our only means of communicating to our members until the launch of our website in January 2015.

We have undergone a few growing pains with our website as well. But now it is time to embrace our domain name and move our blog to our new home: https://azpimagensocblog.org. Please update your bookmarks and links.

Unfortunately, for those of you that are subscribed to our blog via email, you will need to re-subscribe in our new location.

We hope you like our new home and that you subscribe via email so that you can get all the latest news in your email box.

See you at our new digs.

It's All Online–Saturday, January 20, 2018

The January PCGS meeting is all about social media and using the PCGS website.

Sherri Hessick will Explore the PCGS Website, giving us tips on managing the Members Only section and purchasing workshops and seminars.

Sherri was the eighth person to join PCGS. She has served on the Steering Committee since its inception, was a guest blogger on the PCGS blog in 2013-2014 and became the main blogger in 2015. She accepted the Web Manager position in October 2017 and the 2nd Vice President role in January 2018. She is a member of the Tucson chapter of the DAR, a certificate holder from Boston University's Genealogical Research Program, and a graduate of the inaugural Research Like a Pro Study Group.

Nicole Dyer will follow the class with our featured program How Can I Use Twitter and Other Social Media in My Genealogy Research? Collaborating with a community of like-minded genealogists can aid your research in a number of ways. Nicole will discuss monthly genealogy chats on Twitter, the hundreds of genealogy Facebook groups, and how to share a #GenealogyPhotoADay on Instagram.

Nicole has been researching her ancestors and delighting in their stories for over fifteen years. She and her mother regularly write on their Family Locket Blog where they share tips and ideas on how to get children interested in their family history, share research tips, talk about family reunions, crafts, FamilySearch, and much, much more. Nicole spoke at RootsTech 2017 on Kid Genealogists - Inspiring the Next Generation and is speaking at RootsTech 2018. She is also the developer of the Preschool Family History Storytime and the Family History Craft Day at the Tucson Family History Center (visit the Tucson Family History Center Facebook group at for details). Nicole is a PCGS member, serves on the Steering Committee and the Social Media Committee as our Tweeter.

Non-members are welcome to attend up to two meetings as our guest. All attendees are eligible for the door prizes. Handouts are available to PCGS members under Secure Download in the Members Only section of our website: https://azpimagensoc.org.
