The Second Life Virtual Genealogical Society’s September meeting will feature genealogist Miles Meyer who will share “Introduction to The Family History Guide.”
The Family History Guide is a website focused on enhancing your skills in genealogical research. This site provides step by step tutorials on using FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and FindMyPast as well as helpful hints on researching different types of records.
The Family History Guide also provides training on how to research locations from the country level all the way down to individual counties. You can track your progress as you go through each lesson and take quizzes to see if you are retaining the information presented and, if you need to review a topic again, it is as easy as going back to that lesson and following the steps provided.
A brief short meeting will be held prior to the presentation.
WHEN: Sunday, 12 September 2020
TIME: 5:30 p.m. SLT (same as Pacific Time)
WHERE: The Fire Pit at Just Genealogy SLurl
All are welcome at our meetings. You do not need to be a member of the SLVGS in order to attend – but we’d love it if you’d join!
