Happy Holidays

We had a great meeting with cookies brought by members and a discussion of what people had found in their family history research.

There was a short demonstration of how to use Family Tree Maker when doing on-line research, bringing in text, dates, places easily into FTM and merging with a person.  See video (go to 55 min mark) Click here

We had a lively brainstorming session focused on what we can do differently in 2023 to make our meetings more interesting and how to make it inviting for new members.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, January 25, 2023.  Before this meeting, I would like to ask you to

1. Review our DIRT Blog and look for areas we have covered in the past that you would like repeated and recorded for the future (presentations before March 2020 were not video recorded.  Send your suggestions to me by January 15, 2023.  For list click here
2. Think about what you accomplished in your genealogy journey in 2022 and what goals you want to set for 2023 (bring your new goals to share at the January 25th meeting).  To see presentation on goal setting click here
3. I will send out a questionnaire to current membership, asking what they would like to see for DIRT that would make it interesting for them.

Have a wonderful and joyous Holiday Season.
