Topic:
Suggestions from CIG Members for NEW (within the last 2 years)
and useful websites for genealogy researchers. With so many new
genealogy related websites now available, our Members thought it would be of
value to compile a list of these NEW and useful websites to help genealogy
researchers.
Please note this topic was discussed just a few months ago and we had
several great websites submitted by our Members so be sure to bring more
examples to share!
Please send your website nominations to
Gene Pennington.
Remember, these are NEW within the last 2 years) websites for
genealogy researchers. I will compile the list and present it at our
meeting.

| PLEASE NOTE DAY & DATE - This is a one time change for
April only. Friday, April 18, 2008 - 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm |
Topic: Hands On Sessions. Learn how to use the genealogy and
Internet resources available at the Marin Family History Center. The Marin
Family History Center has several tools which can help your
research. Join us for some hands-on with using microfilm and fiche readers,
ordering films and fiche from the Family History Library, seeing what
Footnote.com* might have for you,
trying out some of the CD-ROMs available, and looking at the books in the
MCGS Library.
We want you to learn something about all these so Lon Sykes, Gene
Pennington, and Jo Ann Rowley-Minhoto will be there to guide you and answer
questions. Bring a family name and let see what we can find!
*Note: The other free subscription sites at FHCs will be reviewed at another
CIG meeting.
