Organizing Your Genealogy

Presented by Steve Szabados (in person and on Zoom)

(We do not record our meetings)

 

Make your genealogy efforts more efficient and meaningful. Get organized. Learn what tools and methods will help you become more effective and efficient in your research efforts. The program will review traditional and new methods and technologies and introduce a system that can turbocharge your research efforts. With the explosion in the use of computers and online databases, this is a must-see program to add to your genealogy skills.

Steve Szabados grew up in Central Illinois and is a retired project manager living in the Chicago Suburbs. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and a Master’s in Business Administration from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. Steve is a genealogy lecturer and author. He has been researching his ancestors since 2000 and has traced ancestors back to the 1600s in New England, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and the 1730s in Poland, Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia. He has given numerous presentations to genealogical groups and libraries in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He has also published over 15 genealogy books. His mission is to share his passion for Family History with as many people as he can. He is a former board member of the Polish Genealogical Society of America, and he is a genealogy volunteer at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. Steve also is the genealogy columnist for the Polish American Journal.
