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/

The free in person and online presentation, "Getting to Know Uncle Moses," by Greg Liverman, PhD, will reveal how to tell the complete life stories of your ancestors. Your family is more than birth, marriage and death records. Each individual has his own personal story. Learn how to choose one ancestor with an interesting story and how to add the facts to create a more complete story of his life.

Greg, an adoptee, specializes in the use of DNA evidence in genealogy. He has solved several unknown parentage cases over the last decade by using DNA and paper evidence. Greg has completed the Advanced Genetic Genealogy and Fundamentals Forensic Genealogy courses at GRIP and lectures extensively on genealogy topics in Colorado and across the US. He holds a PhD in Chemistry and has done postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Laser Research in Garching (Germany).

Ten Steps for Organizing for the Busy Genealogist

NGS Monthly Meeting - MARCH 4, 2023 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM NORTH KANSAS CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY-2251 HOWELL ST., NKC, MO AND VIRTUAL

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.
