Monthly General Membership Meeting (General Membership Meeting)
7:00 pm Zoom, or in-person at Westminster Presbyterian Church
Program: Find A Grave - A User's Guide, by Karen Wallace Steely
Have you considered becoming a contributor to Find A Grave? More than just burial records, Find A Grave includes biographical information, obituaries, family relationships, and photographs. The integration between Ancestry.com and Find A Grave will also be discussed, including tips on how you can use Ancestry to work around limitations in Find A Grave’s search engine. Karen will demonstrate the additional tools available to contributors, review the guidelines for managing and transferring memorials, and provide a short tutorial on how to use the Find A Grave mobile app.
Karen is a professional genealogist who has specialized in dating and researching photographs for more than twenty years. She has served on the board of directors for the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) and is a member of the Daguerreian Society. Karen is the principal researcher for The Past Matters® ( www.ThePastMatters.com) and lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband and three cats.
Social time starts at 6:30 pm. Formal meeting begins at 7:00 pm.
Westminster Presbyterian Church is located at 1925 Boulevard Rd SE, Olympia, WA. |
