Genealogy – Where to Begin?

  

Begin with yourself.  Work through your family, gathering resources along the way.  Learn how to carefully record your findings in a permanent place, whether on paper or digital.

Getting and Staying Organized

Once you’ve gotten started gathering your genealogy and recording everything that you’ve found, how do you get a grip on the “mess” you’ve created?  Learn how to simply organize your research, on paper or digital, and keep it that way.

Creating a Family Archive

There’s a difference between archiving your family history and scrapbooking the major life events of your family.  However, preserving your family’s original photos and mementos takes special skills.  Learn skills that can take your prized possessions out of those old albums, storage boxes, and trunks and into the next century.

What Your DNA Test Will NOT Tell You

$125

You’ve spent the money, spit in a tube or scrapped your cheek with a very long Q-Tip, and sent it off for analysis.  The results are back.  What were the results?  Did they give you addresses of long lost relatives?  Did you find a sister that you never knew you had?  If yes, how wonderful for you!!!!  If no, where do you go from here? Get moving in the right direction to figure out what is real and what is not.   One-hour presentation, with 30-minute Q&A following.
