Next Regular Meeting

We'll have a Round Robin where our members tell us of the experiences that they have had searching for their ancestors. We have had several of these sessions in the past and we've all learned something from our members' experiences. So if you've had some interesting experience, good or bad, bring it to the meeting and tell us about it. We'll meet in the first floor conference room at 5:00 PM on Thursday, November 12. After the meeting, time permitting, we'll go to the Genealogy Room (Special Collections) so that everyone can see the nice facility we had for genealogy research and where we've been conducting help sessions nearly every day.

Next CUG Meeting

 There are many free programs that can be downloaded for use. Pastfinders has collected 11 such programs on a CD that members can use to obtain and install the files. Included are the browser, Firefox; the email program Thunderbird; Open Office; Ccleaner; Sendto; Universal Viewer; Picasa 3.5 that now has face recognition; Personal Ancestral File; Easy Duplicate Finder;  Irfanview and Edit Pad Lite. At our meeting we'll look at some of these programs, discuss how to install them and see which ones will run under Windows 7.

Then we'll see what Windows 7 looks like and what you have to go through to install it on your computer. It's a lot easier from Window Vista than it is from Windows XP.

The meeting will be on Wednesday, November 18 at 1:00 PM in conference room 221 on the second floor.
