Family Historians - Genealogy Interest Group
On Tuesday, Aug 13 at 10:00 -- We will be viewing a Legacy Family Tree Webinar titled

'''Should You Take The Hint? -- Automated Record Hinting on the Giant Genealogy Websites.'''

The presenter is Sunny Jane Morton. This is an excellent talk for beginners and experienced family historians, alike.

Sunny explains the difference between selecting Hints and Searching, as well as how to do both most effectively for each of the four major genealogy programs -- Ancestry, FamilySearch, My Heritage and Find My Past. (They are not the same.) A discussion will follow the presentation.

The Family Historian group meets on Tuesday's at 10:00 AM - Noon except when the Center is closed.

(Class begins immediately following the 9 AM streamed Salt Lake City Live Webinars mentioned above)

This open, on-going weekly group will discuss topics about building sound practices

and developing a strong research foundation. If you are working on your family genealogy

and would like support either with the process of researching effectively or in finding elusive information

or would like to share your progress with interested, knowledgeable, friendly people you are sincerely invited to join us.

All are welcome.
