New Mentoring Season Begins

September is the start of our new year for the Cape Cod Genealogical Society, and we have put together the following Mentoring Sessions for you to take advantage of. A Mentoring Session is two hours focused on a particular genealogical topic with insights provided by one of our members.

Please contact the Mentor at the appropriate e-mail address below before the session so they can be prepared for you. We hope you will participate and enjoy:
