Genealogy Gadgets and Gizmos: New Technology to Help in Your Research July 11, 2009

Genealogist, blogger, lecturer and CGS member Steve Danko returns to CGS for some "show and tell" about the newest tools to help with your research.

New hardware, software and online technology make finding, recording and sharing information faster and easier than ever. Many of these advancements have found their way into genealogical research, enabling even a moderately technology-capable genealogist to take advantage of these new gadgets and gizmos. New technology allows genealogists to have access to family history data from anywhere in the world. Researchers can avail themselves of genealogy education at times and places of their choosing, collect documents and information more easily and prepare professional-quality family books without the commercial price.

Dr. Stephen J. Danko holds a Ph.D. in Botany and Plant Pathology and recently completed requirements for the Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies (PLCGS) from the National Institute for Genealogical Studies, University of Toronto.

California Genealogical Society Membership Meetings are held on the second Saturday of January, March, May, July, September and November at 1:00 p.m. Steve's talk will start after the short meeting.

Seating is limited so please arrive early. Meetings are open to everyone but non-members pay a $5.00 users fee to enter the library. (Or come and become a member of CGS!)
