Upcoming Programs (All meetings will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of the Later Day
Saints at 10: a.m.) July 14 – Genealogy Question and Answer
Session. Many of our members have expertise in a variety of
areas of genealogy and can answer your questions. Send your questions to Mary
Ann at
HIMAM2@EMBARQMAIL.COM
before the meeting if possible, or bring your questions to the meeting. Come
and learn from the questions and discussion. August 11 – “Using the Library Catalog of
the Family History Center” Records from all over the world have
been microfilmed and can be ordered at the Family History Center. Mary Ann
Machonkin will talk about the types of records that are available and how to
locate them in the catalog. Using these microfilms can help you get more
information about your ancestors. September 8 –
“Clues and Pitfalls of the British Census Records” Pauline Flewett has done extensive research in
England and will show you how British census records can help you find your
English ancestors. Notes from the President Every
summer we have one month when we ask everyone to bring your genealogy
questions. There is a lot of audience participation, and we all learn a lot
from the answers and comments of our members, so don’t miss this July
meeting. In
August I am going to talk about using the library catalog found on
www.familysearch.com.
I work in the Family History Center on Wednesdays, so I know how many people
from our genealogy society use this catalog to order microfilm. This
catalog seems to be an under utilized
resource that our members need to learn more about. There is a limit to how
much information you can find on the internet, so other resources need to be
used. The cost of microfilm is $5.75 for one month and can be renewed for
$5.50. In September one of our members, Pauline Flewett,
will talk about British census records. She is a great speaker and can teach
us a lot about research in England. Mary
