The link below will take you to a page with all of the links we discussed at the subject meeting this morning - plus many more. While this list is not by any means exhaustive, these are the sites most volunteers have used to solve genealogy problems for patrons of the West Florida Genealogy Library. In short, they will get the job done - for free - for the vast majority of genealogy problems http://robledal.org/genealogy.htm On this link is also a link to an abbreviated version of the PowerPoint presentation used in this morning's presentation. This PowerPoint link is to a 7 megabyte version of the 30 megabyte original but retains enough of the presentation for you to follow some of the specific steps we discussed. If you were unable to attend this morning's meeting, the above link is still handy though you won't get nearly as much out of the abbreviated PowerPoint link. The PowerPoint is a 2010 version so if you have a pre-2007 PowerPoint you may have to download a free PowerPoint Viewer at the following link to view the presentation. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb9bf144-1076-4615-9951-294eeb832823 Jerry Merritt
