Title: A Tour of Online Genealogy Sites

Description: A Tour of Online Genealogy Sites This Introductory class is a tour of two major genealogy sites--Family Search and Ancestry. There will also be tips on exploring other areas, including maps, local repositories, wikis, census information and more. A great class for those new to genealogy or those looking for more ancestral leads. You will leave class with the skills to start uncovering the mysteries of your ancestors.

Description: If you use Family Tree Maker (FTM) to save and record your family tree on your computer and you would like to learn more about the benefits and all those Icons and how to use them, bring your laptop/Ipad downloaded with the Family Tree Maker software. In a very hands-on environment, we will try to address all your questions and expand your use of this most popular software. There are so many advantages to using FTM and we hope to share as many with you as possible. This is a participation Workshop, NOT a class.

Description: How confident are you that your ever-growing family tree does not contain obvious errors?  While Ancestry and Family Search provide many ways to add content, neither provides tools to assist with finding obvious errors.  RootsMagic is a low-cost genealogy tool that can be used to locate many types of errors in your family tree.  This class will explain and demonstrate how using RootsMagic can result in a much cleaner, more accurate family tree.

Description: Have you been thinking about finding your great-grandparents or another ancestor? When did they immigrate and from where? Were there illnesses I should be aware of? How do I find old newspaper articles? How much does this cost? What is Ancestry? If any of these questions have crossed your mind, or you would just like to “dip your toe” in this hobby, this is the class for you. We’ll start with the basics, move slowly through the research steps, show lots of examples and at the end, you will know if you want to pursue this.
