Our speaker this week is Steve Packer, who comes each year to educate us on a different subject. This year he will talk about German Research, one of his favorite topics. He tells me that he has updated the presentation, and the handout is a great list of websites.
For any Scandinavian researchers: Family Tree Magazine produced a "Cheat Sheet" for Scandinavian research, including the suffixes and spellings used for surnames in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. There is a list of online resources for each country, language terms found in parish records, and keyboard shortcuts for those odd alphabet letters used in Scandinavian countries. The article will be placed in our Scandinavian binder.
Legacy Webinars (www.familytreewebinars.com) for the week:
Tuesday, January 17: "Writing Up Your Research" by Michael J. Leclerc. Michael says he will talk about different ways of writing and publishing, from blogs to books. This presentation is suggested for intermediate level researchers.
Wednesday, January 18: Lisa Louise Cooke will present "Create a Free Google Earth Historic Map Collection for Your Research." Lisa says, "Learn how to find free digital maps for your ancestral locations, add them as permanent overlays to Google Earth, and then organize them into your personal map reference collection." Her presentation is appropriate for intermediate and advanced researchers.
