Family Search Wiki and Catalog by Amber Oldenberg.  Have you ever wondered where professional genealogists go to begin their research? Do you need help creating a research plan or just need to know when a state began keeping birth records? Or do you want to know how to access millions of records that have yet to be digitized?  All these questions can be answered with the Family Search Wiki and Catalog.  In this session you will learn how to navigate both. . . via Zoom.

_____________________________________________________________

If you will be attending in person, the presentations will begin at 7:00 p.m. but the doors will open at 6:30 at South Hills School of Business and Technology.

If you want to attend via Zoom, the Membership Chairperson will distribute the link to attend the meeting.  Pre-registration is not necessary.

If you have any questions, please contact Pamela McCloskey, CCGS President, at (814) 380-0176 or email mccpa1980@gmail.com or Elaine Prestia, Membership Chairperson, at elaine@prestia.net, (814) 574-0107. Hope to see you at our events!
