DRAWING OUT YOUR MEMORIES
Guest Speaker: Gail Burk

In addition to researching and recording details about the lives of our ancestors, we genealogists are also the stewards of our own history, recording the details of our own lives for our descendants. This program will use a variety of prompts to help participants to draw a floor plan of their childhood home. This exercise will aid in triggering early memories so that we can then share those memories with our family.

Gail Burk is a long-time member of the Genealogical Society of Santa Cruz, and has served in a number of Board positions, including President. Currently, she co-chairs the Society’s DNA Special Interest Group, and she is a volunteer staffer for the Society in the Genealogy Room at the downtown Santa Cruz Library. Gail has delivered a variety of programs in the Monterey Bay area. Gail graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she majored in art and minored in history. She has been an active genealogist for more than 40 years.
