John Tracy Cunningham will present the program “FamilySearch 201 – Intermediate Topics.
While many of us enjoy using FamilySearch for research we could use it better. This presentation will cover treatment of living persons, connecting your line to deceased ancestors already in the tree, changing person and relationship information, correcting data problems and using the Family Tree Validator; the Change Log; Notes, website locations for conducting research, and being a good FamilySearch citizen. If you haven’t been on the website recently, take time before the program to reacquaint yourself with it to get the most out of the presentation.
John Tracy Cunningham is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is the son of Tracy Cunningham Jr. and Eleanor Marie Walker, and is married to his dear Betty. He was raised in small-town Southern Illinois, graduated in 1973 from the University of Illinois with a BS in Aerospace Engineering, and entered the United States Air Force as a second lieutenant. 23+ years later, he retired as a lieutenant colonel in Italy and became a defense contractor in Germany, retiring for good 11 years later, then being able to devote his time to his passion, family history. He had walked into the county courthouse at age 13 and quickly discovered that all eight great-grandparents had died in that same county. He hasn’t slowed down, but the research has become more difficult. He enjoys science fiction, history, politico-military affairs, theology, languages, the sciences, and research into just about anything.
