Let's Talk Genealogy!
We have formed a Google Group for the Society to encourage discussion about genealogy in a somewhat more private forum than our Facebook page. If you would like to join in genealogical discussions, please join our Google Group. Go to groups.google.com. In the search box, type “SWCOGEN” and you will be taken to our group. Click on the blue box that says “Apply to join group.” Our moderator will review your request and add you to the group.
Next Society Meeting:
Saturday, November 11, 2017 at 10:30 am
Animas Museum, 3065 W. 2nd Ave., Durango, CO
Dr. Charles M. Carrillo will speak to our group about Abiquiu Pueblo, New Mexico. Dr. Carrillo is an artist, author and archaeologist. He is chiefly known for creating art using Spanish colonial techniques. He is the winner of the National Heritage Fellowship Award given by the National Endowment for the Arts. He has work in many permanent collections across the U.S. including the Smithsonian, the Museum of International Folk Art and the Denver Museum of Art.
We will also be holding our election of officers at the annual meeting in November. Both the president and secretary’s positions will be open for nominations. Self-nominations are welcome.
