We are now recording our monthly meetings! The recordings are available for our Members Only to be viewed in case they missed a meeting or wish to review something the speaker said or didn't quite catch the website address on the screen. This is especially helpful for our members who are winter visitors–now they won't miss our summer programs!

 

We would still love to see our members join us at the meetings in person. We love seeing your smiling faces andwe have much more fun when we are together. But we know that isn't always possible and this option is there for those of us that can't always be there.

 

To access the recordings, log in to Members Only with your username and password, then click on Videos in the left navigation panel.

 

Members are reminded that these recordings are provided as a benefit of membership in the Pima County Genealogy Society and may not be shared or broadcast outside of the Society. Not a member of PCGS? Click here for our easy online join process or for a link for the form to join by mail.

PCGS is publishing a Society Cookbook. We invite our members to submit their favorite family recipes. There is room for a short note to tell a little about the recipe if you wish. The recipes can be those that have been handed down through generations, or just traditional recipes that your immediate family enjoys. Perhaps recipes your immigrant ancestors brought from their home country. 

 

For instructions on submitting a recipe, login to Members Only, then click on Cookbook in the left navigation panel. If you don't wish to type the recipe in yourself, email it to Michelle Launi and she will enter it for you. Her email address is in the instructions.

 

Thank you for sharing your recipes and a piece of your heritage. We will let you know when the books will be available for purchase.

Our logo is based on the state flag of Arizona which “represents the copper star of Arizona rising from a blue field in the face of a setting sun” (quote from legislation). The 13 gold and red rays represent the sun setting over the western desert and the original 13 colonies. Red and gold colors were also carried by Coronado’s Spanish expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540. The center star signifies copper production. Arizona produces more copper than any other state in the country and one of its nicknames is the Copper State. The field of blue is the same liberty blue as the United States flag. Blue and old gold are also Arizona’s official state colors. For more information about the state symbols of Arizona, visit the Arizona page of the State Symbols USA website.
