GRF (Genealogy Refocus Group) has a new beginning!

Yesterday, Wednesday, October 16th, marked the day of the new beginning for GRF. Founded and honcho'd for so long by Sonji Rutan, and wonderfully so, the reins have been turned over to Lynda Keenan. 

Still working with Sonji, Lynda announced, proposed and we discussed changes in the modus operandi of the classes. "From now on," she said, "I want you to share what you know and how you have learned it with others. Each of us has specialized knowledge and we each can help others!" 

Lynda wants to get away from formal presentations and have more group interaction. Several ideas for how to accomplish this were discussed. One thing Lynda did was pass out yellow cards on which each of the 18 in attendance were to write information about themselves "so I can get to know you," Lynda explained. She also had everybody sign up with WHERE and WHO we each are researching, saying she'll create a spreadsheet for all of us to use and benefit from. 

The air was electric with ideas; it was a wonderful afternoon. 

You're on her email list so expect to hear from her sooner than later and, of course, do plan to come to GRF and learn how to "refocus your genealogy."
