The November meeting will be a special 2-1/2-hour seminar focusing on using
computers and the Internet in genealogy research, conducted by Helen Lodge,

as RootsMagic or Family TreeMaker and effectively using Internet resources
such as Ancestry, Family Search, Cyndi’s List, and US Gen Web.

hands-on computer workshop/seminar is open to all persons interested in
family history research. It is suggested that attendees have a familiarity
with computers and the internet to get maximum benefit from the workshop,
but non-computer users are also welcome.
The
program will be held in Room 109 of the Rubie Burton Bldg. on the Cottey
College Campus. From U.S. 54 / W. Austin Blvd. at the east side of the
campus, turn south onto South Chestnut Street. The Rubie Burton Building is
immediately on your right. Parking is available in the lot south of the
building. Directional signs will be in place from the parking lot into the
building.
There
will not be a business meeting at the November meeting to allow more time
for the seminar. Attendees should plan on a late lunch. There is no fee to
attend, and there is plenty of room. If questions, please email the society
or contact Neoma at 417-465-2389.
Please note that the location is the Computer Lab

This is a workshop to prepare the Cedar

in folders and labeling the folders. If you live in this area and can help,
please come to the Cedar County Courthouse on a Thursday and you will be
shown the "how to's." The more help we get with this project, the sooner these
records and the index will be available to researchers! Volunteers are
presently working on Box 17 --
