I have received a request from the Carrboro Recreation & Parks department to propose that D-OGS give a short series of lecture-style genealogy workshops (3-5 sessions total) this Winter and/or Spring. These sessions could be very general in nature. These are the same folks that provided us with the Carrboro Century Center facility for our Olde Orange Family History Day event. Suggestions for sessions might include: - Beginning genealogy - start with yourself - Readily Available Public Records to Search - Census, Land, Marriage & Death, etc. - DNA & genealogy - what can it do for you? - Genealogy software - Online Genealogy - using the Web to search I would be willing to do a session or two; would anyone else volunteer to hold a session or two? If so, let me know what your anticipated topic would be. We will probably have a good bit of flexibility in holding these sessions. If materials are needed (handouts, etc.), I'm sure that the Rec & Parks folks would provide them. -- Richard =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Richard K.

Richard, I would be happy to do a workshop on DNA & genealogy if you don't get any better offers.
