December Birthday Party

D-OGS Annual Birthday Party

THURSDAY, December 2, 2021 at 7:00 PM

Please join us on THURSDAY, December 2 at 7:00 PM ONLINE or 6:30 PM at the OWASA Community Center, 400 Jones Ferry Rd, Carrboro. We will have our annual quiz of genealogy, NC history, and trivia, along with a few short presentations on items of interest to genealogists such as what really did happen with the calendar in 1752, and why is property measured in weird units like poles?

Those attending in-person are welcome to join us at 6:30 and either bring something to eat or order from Panera and have it delivered. Members should have received ordering instructions via email. Any non-member wishing to order may contact us for instructions.

Please see our Events Page for more information

Videos of D-OGS Meetings are now online!

We have added a new section on the members-only portion of this website with videos of meetings starting in the Fall of 2020, along with a few older ones that were on YouTube. Our plan is record all meetings going forward for members to view, but note that some speakers will not allow us to record and as expected there are sometime technical problems. Here is the list of recordings available now.

Details about each recording can be found in the history of past events section
