Texas Research Ramblers Genealogical Society
Preserving history in Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley
Ramblers Events
We have our programs and meetings both in-person and Zoom which are held on the last Wednesday of the month at 9:30. In addition we have a mid-month meeting via Zoom only when requested by a member. Some may not care for Zoom, however, this has enabled us to have speakers from all over the state and even from England at a much better rate than having to pay for travel expenses, so there are advantages. After our in-person meetings we traditionally goto lunch with our speaker. Below are some of our upcoming meetings and events:
