"What's New at FamilySearch.org", February 13

Using the vast resources available at FamilySearch.org is the subject of the next meeting of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society, on Sunday, February 13. The meeting begins at 1:00 p.m. at the Oakland Regional Family History Center, 4766 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland, CA 94602. Doors open at 12:30 p.m.

FamilySearch.org is undergoing some major changes over the next several months. Many of them are already available, while others are coming soon. Get the inside scoop on what has happened, what is going to happen, and how it will help you with your research. Also learn a few techniques that may help you use the online catalog of the Bay Area Family History Centers more effectively. After the talk attendees will have use of the library until 4:00 p.m.

Speaker Margery H. Bell has been a genealogy researcher for some 35 years. She has worked in the Oakland Regional Family History Center for about 27 years and now serves there as an Assistant Director. She teaches throughout the Bay Area and wrote "Line upon Line: A Beginner’s Guide to Genealogy", which is published with Ancestral Quest software.
