6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

There will be two topics for you to choose from which should be of value to anyone involved in Family History/Genealogy research including beginners through advanced researchers.

One topic is a presentation regarding Migration Routes in the United States from east to west and reverse migration routes from west to east. This class will take you back to the Oregon Trail days and other documented migration eras and routes as immigrants and pioneers fanned out across North America. The class also addresses the reverse migration that has also occurred as people who had settled in the west, ventured back eastward. This class will be instructed by Barb Schenck and Janet Buss.

The other topic is Part I of a II Part series regarding How to use Windows Movie Maker to Create Family Movies from pictures, video clips, music and voice recordings. Family Movie Making can be fun and gratifying as well as being a great way to document personal memories and/or provide Family History gifts to loved ones! Cathy Blok will help participants tell their story in movie format. You are welcome to bring your lap top and work along as she illustrates how you can develop your own cinematic history. Part II will be offered at our Feb 2010 workshop.

Anyone interested in or curious about Family History/Genealogy is invited, as well as friends or other guests you would like to bring.

Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the activities and, as usual, there is no charge.
