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.
