SUMMARY:Genealogy & Java - Let's break down those brick walls!
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy & Java - 11-noon\, Feb 19th at Monkey Nest Coffee (see map) \nThe $10 fee represents the discussion / review of your brick wall! Bring your information about your ancestor\, with access to the genealogy website you use\, and we will review tips and techniques you might use for finding the evidence you need. \nIn our group setting\, we will review the ancestor and issue. Together we will discuss methods for addressing the particular issue (for the group to log as a technique to be applied to their research). Afterward\, I will work to schedule a 30-minute session\, where we can dig further. The ancestor must be one you have already researched and have knowledge of their life. \nRegister below and pay at the event. If you'd like to send me information prior to the G&J session\, email me at shapingyourfamilytree@gmail.com.
