Using Familysearch.org and/or Find A Grave (Training and Education)
HHSC, room 214
INSTRUCTOR: LINDA MACLACHLAN
If you want to learn about using the Familysearch website or Find A Grave, or have questions about some part of either website, Linda MacLachlan will meet informally with you in the Research Library any time period between 10am and 2pm on either the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of any month.
She asks that you send her an email at ggggrandmac@gmail.com to let her know the day and time you want to be reserved for your one-on-one.
Please remember to create a free account on either Familysearch or Find A Grave if you don't already have one, ahead of the day you come, and remember to bring your user id and password with you so we can work on your family data together on one of the Research Library's large screen computers.
