January 6 Genealogy Club Meeting

Wendy Carlson, director of the Casa Grande Family History Center, spoke to a group of about 30 members Tuesday night. She demonstrated the Family Search website, concentrating on the family tree section of the site.

We learned about this fairly new feature of Family Search, where you can upload your family information and others can add to or change it! You can search the databases for additional information and add sources to your tree, along with photographs, documents, stories, etc. The ultimate goal is to create a world family tree that can be shared with anyone.

Other parts of the Family Search website include the searchable records area, the genealogies, the catalog of microfilm available for rent, books and the Wiki (a genealogy-based internet encyclopedia).

We used all the available tables!
