During our 8 May session we did a quick overview of the Four Genealogy Giants, with emphasis on each of their strengths and data.

The main topic for this meeting was to "Create a book" using Family Tree Maker.  We went through each of the steps for creating the title page, table of contents, photo pages, pedigree charts, descendant charts, index and much more.  There is tremendous power are your fingertips to pull out of Family Tree Maker a great printed book of pdf file for sharing with your family (free).  I will send a pdf file of the presentation (steps) to all the 2019 paid members of our genealogy club.  All of our attendees with laptops at the meeting created their own example book along the way.  There was a quick overview for using Ancestry "MyCanvas" online book creation and also using the plug-in from Family Book Creator to automatically generate a book from Family Tree Maker - both of these options do cost money ($).

At our next meeting we will review "Create a book" using Family Tree Maker, answering questions.
