WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MEMBERS ON ZOOM - Using the Free FamilySearch.org Website-Two weeks in November and two weeks in December

 

Using the Free FamilySearch.org web site

 

JGSGM will be offering a 4 week zoom workshop on the usage of FamilySearch.org. Why use FamilySearch.org?  Well, it is free. Also, it has as much, if not more, to offer than Ancestry. There are over 16.3 billion free historical records and images for more than 110 countries. In addition, they have a digital library holding over 500,000 genealogy books, family histories, maps, yearbooks, and more.  To learn more about genealogy resources for different regions and countries, they have a research wiki that is extremely comprehensive.

So how to access all of these features?  In this limited seating workshop available only to JGSGM members, we will introduce these features and how to use them.
