Meeting Report

At our first meeting of 2014 Wendy Carlson, director of the local family history center, spoke to us about "What I Learned at the Genealogy School of Hard Knocks." A few of the main ideas she illustrated include:

*Write down what you know
*Trust but verify
*Spelling doesn't count (where have we heard that before!)
*Look for more than your direct line
*Keep an open mind
*Don't give up!

If you missed the meeting, the comprehensive handouts will be available at next week's workshop.
