Organizing Genealogy (Monthly Meeting)
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm GP Memorial Library, 901 Conover Drive, Grand Prairie TX
Presented by Christina Argersinger
How To Organize Your Family Research Online and On Paper
Organization is not a fun part of genealogy, but it must be done to maintain healthy record keeping for future generations. In my presentation, we will go through methods to make it easier to keep track of newfound information. Such methods are color coding, keeping file logs and individual ancestor profiles, family records vs individual records, binder methods and computer storage (not on data base).
