HYBRID meeting: Presented by Jeff Adams, Experienced Genealogist​

You can find a plethora of military records on sites such as Fold3, Ancestry, as well as others. But these sites cost money.

Speaker Bios
​Jeff Adams: Per his Bio:
I’ve been a member of the Aurora Genealogical Society (AGS) since November 2019 and have lived off and on in Aurora since 2012. I am currently AGS’s delegate to the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies as well as AGS’s recording secretary. I volunteer for the genealogy section at the main library and can usually be seen on Wednesday afternoons 1-4 helping people with their genealogical questions. I was born in Dallas, Texas and lived in that area until I joined the army in 1994. While in the army, I was stationed mainly on the east coast and ended up at Buckley Air Force Base in 2012. Additionally, I spent time overseas in Korea, Bosnia, Germany, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I forget what got me interested in genealogy, other than a love of history, but I have been researching for about 15 years. I was a member of the PROGEN 50 study group, a precursor to becoming a professional genealogist, in 2021 and I hope to become a professional genealogist in the next year or two.

Sandra Syring: Per her Bio:
Sandra Syring was born and raised in Colorado. She grew up hearing stories of her grandmother’s Native American heritage, and while caring for her Aunt Billy—an avid genealogist—she discovered their Cherokee roots. While the family originally believed only her grandmother’s father was Cherokee, Sandra’s research revealed the lineage traces back to her grandmother's grandfather, a member of the Taul family. The name originates from the Taul Grass family, a historic Cherokee line. Sandra continues to explore her family history and is eager to learn more.
