Hybrid,  an old term with new meanings.  Occupations that have needed a strong beast of burden have had mules and other hybrids for centuries.  Farmers and gardeners have crossbred plants to increase product and production. Recently transportation has developed vehicles that use both petroleum-based fuel and electric batteries.  We refer to these as hybrid vehicles; the term is part of our everyday life. Since March 2020, there are other terms that have gained common use--Covid, social distancing, Google Meet, Zoom, "going virtual".                                                   South King County Genealogical Society has blossomed in the "virtual" mode of meetings.  Our membership has grown geographically and numerically.  People from all corners of the country have "met" each other, traded information and helped each other research.  Our special interest groups will always be virtual because of the attendees we enjoy.
