The majority of questions from the luncheon were about "how to search..." I can answer each one, but what is best would be a "live" tutorial that integrates general "google" and specific genealogy "fee" web site searches.
If you are "committed" to hobby, then you should probably get Family Tree Maker, since these search methods are integrated into the application. (You have to pay separately for direct access to the Ancestry.com databases, but you can browse the web from within FTM.)
I should mention that Ancestry.com and several other sides provide free access for building family trees from your own data; they just don't allow access to their databases.
So... I propose a tutorial on using Family Tree Maker for search, which will cover all the ways of searching. I'll rely on "the committee" to organize this tutorial.
I could make this a utube tutorial series... I can make the utube tutorials myself. But that will require a tutorial on utube.
I am willing to go in either direction. However, I would hope for a commitment from the members of the club to participate.
I would love a tutorial on FTM. I just purchased it but have no idea on how to begin to merge it with Ancestry, etc...
