For the tenth year, the following two classes are being offered this spring at Sierra College in Rocklin and American River College in Sacramento. SEARCH FOR YOUR ANCESTORS: An Introduction to Family History and Genealogy This class is designed for those new to family history research, or those with some experience who may wish to refresh their basic research skills. The six-session class includes five, three-hour classroom sessions at the school plus a field trip to the Sacramento Family History Center, a local genealogical research facility. The field trip will be scheduled during the class sessions. This introductory class will explore the fascinating world of genealogy and family history research, Americas second most popular hobby. In this class, you will learn how to begin researching your family history; how to organize and record data on charts and forms; the types of records to research; successful research strategies including identifying, locating, and searching sources; and how to evaluate data that is discovered. Many examples are used throughout the class. The use of computers, the Internet, and genealogical and other software programs in your research will also be discussed. The class includes the following sessions: Session 1: Getting started: definitions, recording data, documenting your research Session 2: Organizing your research, the five research steps, genealogical research facilities, research sources (family sources, compiled sources, original sources, U.S. census records.) Session 3: Research sources (continued): timelines; land and property records; naming practices; oral and written histories; family photographs; calendar changes; maps, atlases and gazetteers; newspaper records and obituaries; researching directories; occupational and fraternal records. Session 4: Research sources (continued): passenger lists; immigration/emigration; voting registers; naturalization records; military records; cemetery, mortuary and burial records. Session 5: Research sources (continued): court records (wills, probates, divorce, guardianships, adoptions); tax lists; school records; and medical records; record searching tips; sharing your family history; and the use of computers including genealogical software programs in genealogical research.

A basic understanding of computers and the Internet is highly recommended as this class focuses on family history research strategies on the Internet and not basic Internet skills. This is a three hour, one session class, offered in the computer lab of each school. Genealogy on the Internet is more than surfing. It is researching, sharing, and learning to utilize new technology that was never available before! The advent of the personal computer and the Internet have made genealogical research possible on a global scale. Researchers can communicate across town or around the world, in record-breaking time. Learn what genealogical resources are available on the Internet and how to use them. We will discuss the World Wide Web, e-mail, mailing lists and newsgroups, commercial online services, tutorials, online library catalogs, some of the many online research databases (free and subscription-based), and genealogy software. -------- American River College, Extension Program To register, call: (916) 484-8643 or online at: http://support.arc.losrios.edu/extension/table.htm (Class code #7003.101) Wednesday evening, March 31, 2004 (one session) The class will meet from 6:30  9:30 p.m. in the computer lab at McClellan Park (the former McClellan AFB) Fee: $55 (+ $1 fee to the instructor to cover handout materials) ---------- Sierra College, Community Education (Rocklin Campus) To register, call: (916) 781-0590 or (800) 242-4004, extension 2590, or online at: www.sccommed.org (directions are posted) (Class code #8489/4052) Tuesday afternoon, March 30, 2004 (one session) The class will meet from 1:00  4:00 p.m. in Room RG-112 at the Roseville Gateway (the former Roseville Hospital site), 333 Sunrise Avenue, Roseville Fee: $34.

Callifornia DHS UPDATE: Department of Health Services Public Count will be closed as of November 25, 2003 due to Budget Cuts. Officially, last Friday, the administrative order was announced that the Counter will be closed to walk-in applications for vital records and six Department employees will be reassigned. Budget 'cuts to the bone' are cited as the reason the Department of Health Services management has decided that the Public Counter should be closed, in spite of the fact that this is one of the operations that brings revenue into the Department. The reasons, we can all speculate upon, but the fact is that this move will not only affect genealogist and researchers, but the public in general. This includes those who need to obtain birth certificates for children beginning school, college registration, and passports. The one light at the end of the tunnel is that most California County offices will continue to be open for walk-in requests for birth, death, marriage, divorce documents. The Dapartment states that the turn-around time will be four weeks. What, if anything, can be done about this remains to be seen. It is hopeful that with the change of Administration in the Governor's office and new appointees, we may see changes in policy. At this point we can only wait and see. We will continue to monitor the situation. If and when efforts on our part could make a difference, I will let you know. I will stay on top of this problem.

The Placer County Genealogical Society has a membership of almost 200 individuals and families that have genealogical interests. The group holds a general meeting at the Auburn library site on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7-9PM, and features a program speaker on various genealogical subjects. The Society also offers two specialty day groups. One that studies various topics of member interest and has a day gathering at the library each month except July, August and December. Beginning with the January 2004 meeting, this group’s regular meeting day will change to the second Monday of each month. The other group, the Family Tree Maker User Group, reviews genealogy computer program subjects, on the second Thursday of each month, at the Latter Day Saints Church, 1255 Bell Road, in Auburn. The Society maintains a web site at www.pcgenes.com/pcgs.html where details of these meetings can be found as well as other research references and announcements.

*** PBS History Detective is Keynote Speaker at Sacramento Conference *** Tukufu Zuberi, Ph.D., is the keynote speaker for the opening session of the 2004 NGS Conference. Dr. Zuberi achieved celebrity status earlier this year as one of four experts on the new PBS series *History Detectives*. In case you missed it, the show is devoted to solving historical mysteries, searching out the true facts (and falsehoods) behind local folklore, family legends and interesting objects. Dr. Zuberi's expertise is in revealing the historical context and social issues that triggered the motives of the people involved in each mystery. On an academic level, Dr. Zuberi is a Professor of Sociology and the Director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He has a local connection, having received his Masters degree in Sociology from California State University, Sacramento. *History Detectives* returns to PBS tonight, Sunday, November 16, at 5:00 pm on KVIE Channel 6 (Sacramento).
