April 6: "Looking Into
Your Family Tree", with Steve King. This beginners' class touches on where to start looking into your family
genealogy. Steve will) touch on the types of records and sources
available; will show
you how to get started on research and how to utilize family group
sheets and pedigree charts.
-
April 20: “Finding and Utilizing Land Records”
with Janet Cottrell.
Property deeds, mortgages, and other legal
instruments filed in county courthouses are the
superheroes of genealogy. They may appear to be
mild-mannered, but once unleashed they can
demolish brick walls. Join Janet as she explains
just how powerful these documents can be in your
genealogical search for your Ancestors.
-
May 4: “Photography in a Cemetery” with Ron
Hardy.
Pictures are a wonderful way to document
graveyards, from scenic views of the cemetery,
to inscriptions of individual tombstones. It
isn't always as easy as it seems, however, to
achieve sharp, clear photographs of stones that
may be centuries old. That old stone may be easy
enough to read when you're standing just a few
feet away, but capturing its three dimensional
carving and inscriptions on a flat picture
sometimes takes a bit of work. Ron will have
some great tips for us.
Sat, May 18: “What’s In Your Genealogy Gadget
Bag?” with Dorothy Becknell. Join Dorothy as she delves into her GGG Bag
(gad-about
genealogy
gadgets bag). She will talk about cameras,
scanners, video cameras, digital recorders,
digital
tablets,
and a few
surprises you may not have thought about. If you
have a gadget bag, bring it along to the class
and share your essential tools for a “genealogy
run”.
