The East Texas Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Saturday, October 11, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the Tyler Public Library in the Taylor Auditorium. The featured speaker will be Don Raney, a sixth generation Texan and an active genealogist for over thirty years. Don has spoken at many local, state, and national genealogical seminars and currently teaches Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Genealogy classes at Richland College in Dallas. The subject of his program will be “British Migrations to the American Colonies.” Mr. Raney will explain how researching our ancestors in Britain differs from researching their records after they arrived in America. British migrations beginning in 1607 and continuing through 1775 will be discussed - the counties or regions they came from, why they left Europe, and where they settled here. Included will be the East Anglian Puritans settlement in New England, the West Country Cavaliers settlement in the Chesapeake, the North Midland Quakers settlement in the Delaware Valley, and the British and Scottish Borderers settlements in the backwoods of America. Approximately thirty minutes following the conclusion of the regular program and refreshments, the Computer Interest Group of the East Texas Genealogical Society will meet and Sibyl Creasey will present a program titled “Creating Web Pages.” ETGS meetings are free and open to the public.
