Presented by Katherine Willson. In addition to basic searches for locating records at FamilySearch.org, there are numerous other resources available that are lesser known. We'll discuss:

• Family Search wikis that provide information about resources available for a specific location, as well as boundary changes and record loss for that area;  
• Family Search catalog that lists which records are held for a given location and for a specific time period;
• Family Search's collection of digitized books and how to search them; and
• Browsing tips for searching unindexed records

Presented by Dan Earl. Many beginning genealogists stay close to census, birth, marriage, and death records and largely ignore a valuable resource: city directories! These records are not your average phone book to be sure. This presentation will teach participants what city directories are available online and where hard copies are located near them. The speaker will use a case study from his own family using city directories to solve a brick wall problem.

Members can practice the skills they've learned throughout the year - a great opportunity to do the things we've talked about ask questions and collaborate on genealogical best practices! If you're not a member, you can come too and our members will help you with one-on-one help on the computers.
