Cruise Time

By now, the world knows that the Norwegian Cruise Line's Epic slammed into a pier at San Juan, Puerto Rico. Yes, that was the ship we sailed but the accident happened this past week and not the week we were aboard.

If you've ever wondered what genealogists do in the evenings on board, here's the scoop! We take over a quiet area such as the ship's library and we revel in discussing genealogy. That includes methodologies, important news, DNA, the topics presented that day, and brick walls. Our group on The Villages Genealogy Society Cruise started on the first cruise they did in 2015 did this and again last week. For many of us, it was the highlight of each day.

We made some very good new friends and reinforced long-standing friendships. Most important, we shared lots of great ideas!

And here are our speakers: George G. Morgan, C. Ann Staley, Blaine T. Bettinger, and Drew Smith.
