Palm Creek Computer Club

Maureen and Annie were featured speakers at the Palm Creek Computer Club this past week. The topic was "Searching For My Roots Using a Computer." The presentation was divided into three parts: Networking/Social Media, Online Learning and Online Research.

Maureen talked about aspects of genealogy on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. She also suggested making contact with members of a local genealogy group or society.

Annie's suggestions for learning how to do genealogy included joining the Palm Creek Genealogy Club, using the WiKi on FamilySearch, finding webinars or blogs, accessing Cyndi's List, and using Google searches for genealogy.

FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindAGrave and USGenWeb were the websites suggested for searching for records.
