Attendees are invited to come 30 minutes early to visit and enjoy refreshments.

Familysearch is a free database available for all computer users.  It is a product of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints.  They have acquired thousands of digitized records and other genealogical materials to share with the family historian.  We will introduce the various programs within the database, and methodology to successfully use Familysearch.   (Since CCGS is an affiliate of the LDS Family Library, we have access to a greater number of the records than you would have at home.   The public is welcome to use this advanced program.)

Cost:  $30 for the three classes for non-members and free for CCGS members.  (The fee may be applied towards membership of $40.)

What:  The beginning classes will cover basic information, census work, organizing & entering your research into a program, evaluating sources and evidence, using and finding research resources.

How:  Since the number of computers available is limited, people are encouraged to register for the classes early.  Those who can bring a lap-top can be included as well.
