Lou McLean

The SaddleBrooke Genealogy Club’s next presentation, “Tidbits to Assist You,” with helpful websites and where to find resources for your research, will be on April 4 at 1 p.m. in the SaddleBrooke One Coyote Room. The speaker is Lou McLean.

Lou McLean is the current president of the West Valley Genealogical Society located in Youngstown (Sun City), Ariz. Starting in 1972, it has grown to more than 700 members. It offers the largest genealogy library in Arizona. Family history researchers can find state, county, and local history information for Arizona, the United States, and many other countries.

In the summer the SaddleBrooke Genealogy Club focuses on workshops to refine research skills. If you want some small groups and/or one-on-one time with other club members, these are good meetings to attend. The May 2 meeting is being planned as a luncheon rather than a meeting. Watch the website for further details on the time and venue. June, July, August, and September will be workshops, held on the first Thursday of the month. As always, guests are encouraged to attend and are welcome to become members. October is a scheduled trip to the West Valley Genealogical Library in Youngstown. November will begin the speaker format again, and the first scheduled speaker is Bridget Lefevre who will provide clues to Scandinavian research.
