SGS Computer IG abt "Maps & Genealogical Travel" on Saturday, Sept 13th. September's Computer Interest Group program will be on "Using Maps to Travel and Locate Your Genealogical Interest", presented by Barbara McGinnis Raemer. She has used both the Internet sites and software programs that she will demonstrate during all of her recent trips for both pleasure and genealogical research. The first two examples will be the Internet sites: GNIS Locator and NACO. The remaining examples come from CDs: MapQuest, Streets & Trips, and Mapn Go. These programs are used to specifically plan the trip. During the trip, do you make changes in your plans? Barbara does and she won't leave home without her computer, Pocket PC, and these programs. She also brings patience and hope. Please join us on Saturday, September 13, 2003 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and learn how Barb plans her travels for fun and research. We will meet in the SGS Library at 6200 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle, across the street from the US National Archives & Records Administration (NARA) Pacific Alaska Region. Parking is available on the nearby streets. On the Metro Transit #74 & #75 bus lines. Accessible to the Handicapped. MEETING LOCATION & TIME CHANGE? We have the opportunity to use the 2nd floor NARA meeting room across the street. The room capacity is 49 persons so we will be less crowded and we can all park in their parking lot. They also have excellent audio/visual equipment and a high speed Internet connection that we can use. To use this facility we will have to change our meeting day and time to the first Saturday of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. We will be voting on this possible change during the September meeting. The earliest change date will be the December 2003 meeting. Please come to the September meeting to let us know your thoughts and vote on the change.
