08 - 08 March 2023 Organizing your Genealogy and Family Tree Online, presented by AGS Member Victoria Sullivan Albuquerque, New Mexico
Details:

Many of us spend more of our genealogy time online than in the library these days. We have online trees and online sources. Just in case, we want to have offline backups, too. Genealogy software can help. So can a good backup plan. As Dick Eastman told us a few years ago, “Lots of Online (and offline) Copies Keep Stuff Safe”.

This event is currently scheduled as a HYBRID EVENT. Come join us, either in person at the Albuquerque Main Library, Genealogy Center on the 2nd floor. See link for registration information. https://abqgen.org/events/organizing-family-history-online-sullivan/

06 March 2023 - 03 April 2023 AGS Spring 2023 Beginner Genealogy Classes Albuquerque, New Mexico
Details:

Your instructor is Victoria L. Sullivan, retired reference librarian with 30+ years hunting relatives. All classes will be held via Zoom. See AGS website for further information.

There will be five classes over five weeks beginning on Monday, March 6th as follows:

March 6, 2023 | Class #1: How to Begin Your Genealogy – From the Start or From Where You Are

Want to start or restart your family tree this year? Beginners come at all levels. We’ll talk about terms, forms you can use, and how to proceed. Bring your questions! Includes brief discussion of DNA tests.

March 13, 2023 | Class #2: Census Records

Many countries have taken censuses of their population. We’ll talk about the most commonly used ones, including where to access them online, mostly for free.

NOTE: If you are in the Albuquerque area, be sure to get or renew your library card before class, as some of the sources are on the library website. You will have to do this in person at your nearest branch.

March 20, 2023 | Class #3: Online Research

Yes! We will talk about websites, including free ones. Pros and Cons of Pay sites. How to evaluate what you find. 

March 27, 2023 | Class #4: Genealogy Software – How to Choose and Use It

Many people use online sites to create and store their family trees. A lot of us like to have a program on our own computers so we know who added the information. No one can change data in your own program. There is one exception and we will discuss the relationship between Ancestry.com® and Family Tree Maker®.

April 3, 2023 | Class #5: Organization

Now that you have found some data, how do you store it? What do you do with all those paper copies? How can you find images you have saved to your hard drive? These questions and more (plus some answers) will be discussed in this class.

04 - 04 March 2023 Bucks County Genealogical Society Monthly Program Doylestown, PA
Details:

BCGS Monthly Program via Zoom: "Zotero for Genealogy: Harnessing the Power of Your Research Part 2" will be presented by Donna Cox Baker from 10 am to 12 pm.

Zotero for Genealogy Part II expands on Part I, describing how to creatively use Zotero’s resources to serve your research beyond the essential citation management. In this session, Baker will demonstrate the various ways that she has enhanced her genealogical and historical research, using this tool. You will see how to set up a research tickler system, preparing you to get the most out of any trips to archives and probate offices. You will learn how to track research questions or to-do items, letting Zotero be your reminder of where you left your research and where you need to go from here. Baker will demonstrate how she efficiently handles the extraction of information of sources that mention or involve many different ancestors. She will show how you can turn your research into a timeline. And she will show how she uses Zotero as her legend to her self-made maps of ancestral territories.
