The Computer Group meeting of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society on Wednesday, 21 May 2014, had ten in attendance in the Computer Lab using the new library Windows 7 computers. Shirley Becker demonstrated several websites with free records and web pages, including;
* Rootsweb/Ancestry Freepages (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~websites/ - she picked one of the Surname Websites to see examples) and the Freepages directory (http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/directory/) to search for material about your ancestors.
* Rootsweb/Ancestry WorldConnect family trees (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/) to search for persons in trees submitted by researchers.
* Rootsweb/Ancestry Message Boards (http://boards.rootsweb.com/) to search for messages or queries submitted by researchers on thousands of surname, locality and topic boards.
* GenForum Message Boards (http://genforum.genealogy.com/) to search for messages or queries submitted by researchers on thousands of surname, locality and topic boards.
Several attendees found interesting entries on these web pages, family trees and message boards.
