Join us on January 30, 2025 for a hybrid meeting. We will meet at 10:00 in-person and via Zoom to hear Amber Oldenburg speak on “Fantastic and Fun-Filled World of the FamilySearch Wiki and Catalog.”
We will then enjoy our annual potluck at 12:00. Those attending the in-person meeting at Morley Library should bring a dish to pass, tableware and a beverage.
Have you ever wondered where professional genealogists go to begin their research? Do you need help creating a research plan or just need to know when a state began keeping birth records? Or do you want to know how to access millions of records that have yet to be digitized? All these questions can be answered with the FamilySearch Wiki and catalog. In this session you will learn how to navigate both and how they can help you be a better family history researcher.
