Navigating the ‘Net
The internet is a goldmine of genealogical information. Sometimes, it can be daunting to decide where to begin. In this presentation, we will have brief overviews of the largest and most frequently used sites. We’ll talk about some of the differences among them and their overall usefulness. We will also visit some sites that may not be at the top of a researcher’s list. There is value in all of them, and you just may find a new vein to mine! Joleen Aitchison has been involved in genealogical endeavors since she was a child and continues the search. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Bainbridge Island Genealogical Society, and the consulting genealogist for Traditions of the Ancestors (TOTA).
