REMINDER: SGS CIG abt "Using DeedMapper Software" on Oct. 11th. October's Computer Interest Group program will be "Using DeedMapper Software in Land Record Research", presented by Mary Peters of the Fiske Genealogical Foundation. Ms. Peters writes: DeedMapper plots 'metes and bounds' parcels scaled to USGS topographical map scale (or to others). You can create the community and discover relationships through land sales and divisions of land. I think this often leads to identifying women's maiden names. It also helps untangle people having the same name by analyzing their landholdings and transfers. Deed Mapper is a menus-driven program for Windows. It has an excellent tutorial and a built-in test editor to enter 'metes and bounds' descriptions of property. Mary has pursued her ancestors and some live cousins for fifteen years. She was a student of Arthur Fiske for many years and she is now a volunteer at the Fiske Library. Please join us on Saturday, October 11, 2003 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We will meet in the SGS Library at 6200 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle. Parking is available on the nearby streets. On the Metro Transit #74 & #75 bus lines. Accessible to the Handicapped.
