Advanced Google Searching for Genealogists
Presenter: Barbara Renick
When: February 19th, 2020
Where: Yorba Linda Community Center

You do not have to be an advanced computer user to use the advanced search template at Google (or the customized genealogy search templates available elsewhere for free online) to find better results.  This lecture covers simple ways to adjust your searches to enrich your Google results.
Barbara Renick taught computer genealogy lectures for 29 years locally, for 20 years at national and state genealogy conferences, was a contributing editor for the National Genealogical Society computer magazine for eleven years; authored Genealogy 101: How to Trace Your Family’s History and Heritage sponsored by NGS for their 100th Anniversary; and has served on both the NGS Board of Directors and the Association of Professional Genealogists Board of Directors. She also lectured and taught computer labs at the early RootsTech conferences; then switched to doing webinars toward the end of her career as a professional genealogist in 2013/2014. The ‘Z’ Links page at her ZRoots.org. web site is popular among genealogists. In 2014 she retired for health reasons and now only lectures occasionally as her health permits.

January 2020 General Meeting

Missing!  Reward!  Locating Widows, Spinsters, and Bachelors
Picture
Presenter: Sara Cochran
When: January 15, 2020 7:00 pm
Where: Yorba Linda Community Center
Widows, spinsters, and bachelors are a part of everyone's ancestral tree.  Widows create tax records and appear in city directories, land records, and estate records. They may be identified with their married name or maiden name. They may or may not have been living with their adult children or buried with their husband. Adults may never have been married or may be difficult to identify because they were the last of their branch of the family. They didn't discuss their life, ceased communication with their family, and didn't leave a written record. Come and join us to learn how to conquer these impregnable genealogical forests.
Sara Cochran has conducted genealogical research for over 25 years in nearly every state of the USA, plus Ireland, Italy, Austria, and Britain. She holds a Boston University Genealogical Research Certificate, a BS in Library Science and is an alumnus of the ProGen Study Group. She began her career as a professional genealogist in 2016. Sara is currently the treasurer of the Southern California Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Registrar for the Aurantia Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Secretary of the Amanda Stokes Tent, Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and volunteers at the National Archives, Riverside.
