A FUNNY THING HAPPENED WHILE WRITING A FAMILY HISTORY
Speaker: Member, Carolyn Storm
Interesting facts came to light while digging into my grandparent's history. My great grandfather may not have been my great grandfather after all! Oops!
Plus I will share a simple way to put your ancestor's story into a short biography.
AND, WE ARE HAVING A SILENT AUCTION
Members are urged to donate their unwanted genealogical/history books, etc. they no longer need or want. Bids will begin at 25 cents and increase in 25 cent increments. We will only have quarters and ones for change....Be Prepared.
This would be a good meeting to attend if you are new to genealogy or for our members to bring a friend. All are welcome!
Meetings are held at the Oakland Family History Center, 4766 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland.

FAMILYSEARCH.ORG
Speaker: Ralph Seversen
It's time once again for an update on what is new and how to navigate our way through FamilySearch.org's vast archives...and nobody does it better than Ralph Seversen.
We know this website can provide valuable clues and information that will answer questions and lead us to further understand and know our ancestors - but sometimes finding those clues or that specific information can be difficult.
We are hoping this presentation will help you better find your way through the website and discover some valuable information relating to the ancestors in your family tree.

MARCH MEETING

WHEN SEARCH ENGINES DON'T WORK
Finding Online Sources That Are Not Digitally Indexed
Speaker: Marge Bell
The records of the Family History Library in Salk Lake City are being digitized at an amazing rate.
This includes the millions of microfilms and microfiche previously available only in the SLC library or by mail order through your local FHC. It also includes the thousands upon thousands of periodicals indexed in PERSI.
This presentation by lecture and demonstration will explain how to find and use these online records which cannot be found by doing a search for an individual at a subscription website.
It is delightful to have Marge Bell once again available to present this new class/program. Ralph Seversen from the Oakland FHC was extremely impressed with Marge's program and I am sure you will be also.
