Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, and join us for a great learning experience! The H.E.L.P. class is one of your membership benefits from GSNOCC.

Our next class will be on Wednesday, January 13th at 7pm. Our series entitled “Finding Family History in Unusual Places” will continue into 2021.

Next up in January will be directories- all kinds of directories you may not have thought about using.
​
In February we will explore census records- no, not those US Federal population records. There are a lot of OTHER census records we usually forget about.


Obscure legal documents will be covered in March and April. More on them later.

So mark your calendars for our H.E.L.P. classes on the second Wed of each month at 7pm. Remember- short handout notes will be posted in the “members only” section of the GSNOCC website.

The Zoom link will be sent after the first of the year and will also be available on the GSNOCC website.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!

About the Program

Make Your Own Maps Using Google's My Maps

Place your ancestors on the map and share it with your family.  Using the tools provided free in Google’s My Maps, Francie will demonstrate how to create and edit maps illustrating places your family lived, their migration routes, and different generations.  Further, she will demonstrate how to add notes, photos, and icons depicting your family’s unique history and will present useful ideas for a variety of your own maps, even for planning a research trip.  You can then share these unique maps with family members and continue to add to them in the future.  You can use her handout to follow the presentation step-by-step.

She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) and speaks to genealogical societies on topics ranging from Google to geography.

Crafting Source Citations the Easy Way, with Randy Seaver - November 19, 2014

9/15/2014

We all know that we should cite our sources, but it's hard to remember what goes first, what to include, punctuation, and more.  Then the Internet came along and it's really complicated now.  This presentation will cover source citation guides for genealogy, using content provider source citations, and using source citation templates in genealogy software programs to cite our sources.

Randy Seaver is a native San Diegan. His ancestry is mainly colonial New England and Upper Atlantic, with some colonial German, French and Dutch forebears, and several 19th-century English immigrants. He has been pursuing his elusive ancestors since 1988, and has been online since 1992.

Randy is a former President of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society, and is currently the Newsletter Editor and Research Chair. He speaks to Southern California societies, libraries and groups, and teaches "Beginning Computer Genealogy" adult classes at OASIS.  He is a member of NGS, NEHGS, SCGS, SDGS, CGSSD and CVGS. Randy blogs daily about genealogy subjects at Genea-Musings (www.geneamusings.com) and the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe (http://CVGenCafe.blogspot.com)
