Want to get more strategic and organized about your genealogy research this year?  Need to find new genealogy software? We do too, so we’re starting a new Special Interest Group!  The Power Up Your Genealogy SIG will meet once a month, on the second Tuesday at 1:30pm, to discuss and debate a variety of topics of interest to all genealogists, beginner to advanced.  Our provisional monthly schedule is:

Feb: Genealogy Software
Mar: Organizing Your Files, Paper and Digital
Apr: Online Research Toolkit
May: Genealogy Road Trips
Jun: Digitizing Photos
Jul: Research Goals and Process
Aug: Genealogy Education
Sep: Citing Your Sources
Oct: Interviewing Relatives
Nov: Sharing Your Research
Dec: Taking Stock and Looking Forward

Led by MHGS Librarian Julia Langel, each meeting will rely on sharing and discussion of experiences and resources.  We hope you’ll bring an idea, web link, book, article, question, example or story to share.   We’ll take good notes, make copies and lists, and share the results.

Please join us!  Our first meeting will be Tuesday, February 9, at 1:30. Our topic will be Genealogy Software
