Subj: Genealogy Wrokshop Date: 12/24/2002 7:27:00 PM Central Standard Time From: <A HREF="mailto:jbl@tqsi.com">jbl@tqsi.com</A> To: <A HREF="mailto:RIGENWEB-admin@rootsweb.com">RIGENWEB-admin@rootsweb.com</A> Sent from the Internet (Details) Hi, I am going to be facilitating a Saturday morning workshop on January 17th at Worcester State College on using computers and the Internet to research your Family Tree. http://wwwfac.worcester.edu/dgce/cbi/saturday.htm "Using Computers and the Internet to Research and Document Your Family Tree" "Have you been collecting your family tree data but never had a good way of organizing it or sharing it with your family? Are you interested in learning about your family history? Do you now have a computer and Internet access? This interactive workshop will show you how to use your computer at home and the Internet to document and research your family. "This workshop will introduce some popular software programs and techniques for using them effectively. The class will also demonstrate several of the major on-line data sources for American genealogy available and how to use them effectively. This workshop is not meant to be a Genealogy 101 class teaching you all of the techniques that you will use as you delve deeper into this hobby, nor are we going to show techniques for researching in other countries. A workshop project will be done to use the tools and sources to actually build a family tree. Participants interested in having their tree started should bring with them names and birth information on their parents and grandparents." Originally, this had been scheduled for March, but it was re-scheduled almost at the last moment.  As it is coming sooner than expected, we need to do some extra publicity. I will be talking about some RI and New England issues as I research the Stedman family and, as RI is close to Worcester. Happy Holidays, John B. Lisle.
