Tree Keeping: Genealogy Software vs. Online Trees
Featured Speaker: Rick Crume

If you're very serious about genealogy, you need tools to help you record names, dates and places, not to mention family stories and photographs. Genealogy software, an online tree or a combination of the two can help you accomplish those tasks. Rick will compare the most popular options, including RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker software, Ancestry Member Trees and the FamilySearch Family Tree.
WAGS members will receive an invitation with meeting details in May. If you are not a WAGS member, you are welcome to attend. Send an email with to program@wagswhittier.org and an invitation will be sent to you.
* This presentation will be preceded by a brief business meeting.
