Genealogy Apps and Family History Blogs—Saturday, June 17, 2017

Come join us this Saturday, June 17, for two fascinating topics.

Our meeting starts with a class on Using Genealogy Apps on Your Tablet by Kathi Gardner. Following the class, Nicole Dyer will present a program on Tips on Sharing Family History with a Blog.

Nicole has been researching her ancestors and delighting in their stories fro over fifteen years. She and her mother regularly write on their "Family Locket Blog."  They share tips and ideas on how to get children interested in their family history, share research tips, and talk about family reunions, crafts, FamilySearch, and much, much more. Nicole spoke at RootsTech 2017 on Kid Genealogists - Inspiring the Next Generation. She is also the developer of the Preschool Family History Storytime held in April and May and the June Family History Craft Day at the Tucson Family History Center (visit the Tucson Family History Center Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1695205970728001/ for details).

Our general meetings are free and open to members and non-members alike. Hope to see you there!

A Success - Over Eighty Attendees!

A big thank you to everyone that showed up at our initial meeting today.  I will soon post a new survey regarding the name of our group and a few other questions we had. The Steering Committee is beginning to plan so please  share your thoughts as soon as possible for program ideas.  The committee will be investigating several of the suggestions regarding a meeting place.  Please feel free to email us with questions and ideas. 

Several of you were interested in blogging.  If you have a blog, email me your blog name and address so that I may share it with the group.  If you need help getting started, I will be happy to help you or steer you to a more experienced blogger for help.  There are "blogging themes" that genealogist can use as prompts such as:  Tombstone Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Military Monday, etc.  I would be happy to share a list of resources and prompts to get you blogging away.  Happy ancestor hunting!
