The Family Tree of Property

Today's Post and Courier had a feature in the Home and Real Estate section about The Family Tree of Property.  Doreen Larimer will be speaking at our 8 Nov meeting about this topic. Doreen was interviewed for the article - so I thought y'all might find it interesting.

October 25, 2017 Meeting.  In our session today we discussed "How to Organize your Digital Genealogy".  The focus was on developing a filing system and naming system, then being consistent across all organization systems.  Also, backing up your information and how to take an inventory  of all your digital information.  Click here for the handout.

Our next meeting will be on November 8th 1:30-3:00 at the Lake House, Osprey 2.  We have a guest speaker "Doreen Larimer" to speak on "Land Records for Genealogy".

October 18, 2017 Wednesday evening meeting

It was a great time to answer questions and share new ideas.  We did a quick review of "Using Evernote for Genealogy" click here for the handout.

We also went through the "Interpreting AncestryDNA results" again for members who had not been to the October 11th session or those who had more questions.  Click here for the handout.  I recommended that you do your own spreadsheet for keeping track of CentiMorgans and those relatives that you have contacted.  Click here for a sample excel spreadsheet.  Look at all three tabs on the bottom of the page.

I hope you are all having fun finding out new information about your heritage.

Meeting Oct 11, 2017 We had a great turnout today.  We reviewed some new Christmas project proposals and highlighted the upcoming Family History Fair 2017 at the LDS Church on Sam Rittenburg Road (Family History Center) to be held on October 21, 2017 (Saturday) and everyone is welcome (there is a low charge at the door).  Click here for more details.

We then spent the majority of the meeting discussing how to interpret your AncestryDNA results.  You are welcome to download the handout and a sample spreadsheet for recording your research and the level of centiMorgans for each cousin.
