February 2020 General Meeting

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.
