President’s Letter

We had our first meeting of the new season on Saturday, 6 September 2025. Since the Palm Springs Public Library is undergoing remodeling, our temporary meeting place is in the Dining Room of the Mizell Center at 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, just south of the library at the intersection of Ramon Road and Sunrise Way.  Ample parking is available. Meeting time will be the same as in the past, 10:00-12:00.

We were fortunate in getting permission from Legacy Family Tree Webinars, through the efforts of Thomas MacEntee, to secure access to Thomas’ webinar “Translating, Transcribing and Summarizing Documents Using AI”. A comprehensive handout was also provided.

During the remodeling of the library, which is projected to last 18 months, the Palm Springs Public Library staff were successful in securing this temporary meeting place for the Society and we hope you will make an effort to attend and kick off a new season. A full slate has been put together for you for next season, tailored to interests expressed by members of the Society in a poll taken last Spring.

At our next meeting on 4 October, our speaker will be Lisa Baker, Assistant Manager of the Hemet Family History Center, who will be giving us live demonstrations on the use of both FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com. There is always something new to learn with these research sites.

Please, come join us!
