Computer Group Summary - 20 June 2012

The June meeting of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society Computer Group had 10 attendees in the library Computer Lab.

After finally getting online with Gary's laptop computer, Randy demonstrated how to access and search for FamilySearch historical collections (https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list), how to access and use the FamilySearch Research Wiki (https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Main_Page), and how to watch FamilySearch Research Courses (https://www.familysearch.org/learningcenter/home.html).


In the second hour, Gary shared a link to www.legacyfamilytree.com/Videos.asp where people can find free training videos on Legacy Family Tree 7.5 and can purchase CD sets as well. He also played an 11 minute video on Barry Ewell's blog site called Barry's Lunch'n Learn series . The video describes the process of setting color coded genealogy paper files, which was fascinating to many in attendance.

The next meeting of the CVGS Research Group will be on Wednesday, 18 July in the Computer Lab at the Chula Vista Civic Center Branch Library (365 F Street in Chula Vista).
