7:00 pm Zoom online meeting
Webinar presenter: Tanya Lynch
"In this class, I'm going to teach you how to do family history in minutes instead of hours. Over time, these little tasks will add up and you'll be surprised with how much you get done in one month, two months, and even in just three months' time."
*We all want to spend more time on our family history, but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. Spend 60 minutes in this webinar learning how to do genealogy in short, simple 30-minute segments, and some can even be broken down into smaller 15-minute increments!

Lifelong Learning: Enhancing Your Genealogical Skills (Chapter Meetings)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm online meeting
Carla Cegielski will be our speaker. Online access to original sources has revolutionized genealogical research. Opportunities abound for indexing, transcribing, geo-locating, recording oral histories, etc. Genealogists can take advantage of volunteer opportunities to enhance basic skills and learn new skills (i.e. learning by doing). The benefits for both the genealogist and the genealogical community at large are immense.
Carla S. Cegielski is a full-time genealogical researcher, lecturer and writer specializing in Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia research. A former college instructor, Carla began lecturing on various genealogical topics in 2008. She is a frequent speaker at genealogical societies, libraries and conferences. She has a special interest in exploring and teaching others about underutilized record collections. Carla writes the Tech Tips column in the quarterly NGS Magazine.
