IAJGS2016Discussion Mailing List: Computer workshop openings

[Harvey Kabaker (harvey.kabaker]

The Introduction to JewishGen computer lab scheduled for Sunday afternoon sold out, so we have added a repeat session on Monday, August 8, from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. Two seats are left. An introduction to the use of JewishGen, overview of the site, signup and privacy features, introduction to search features including the FamilyFinder and use of the Databases. Introduction to community pages.

Also available are a few seats for:

Record Searching with the IGRA (Israel Genealogy Research Association). IGRA has been indexing, digitizing and preparing databases from materials available in many of the Archives in Israel and some located elsewhere. With the language challenge there is a bilingual search engine and filters to help focus on specific areas. Part of the time will relate to the Montefiore census records accessible on  another site.

Publish or Perish - Create Your Family Newsletter with Microsoft Publisher. Banai Lynn Feldstein has been publishing a family newsletter for more than ten years and she will show you how to use Microsoft Publisher to create your own. Banai will teach some of the basics of using the program and offer tips for how to compile the data into a newsletter you will be proud to share with your relatives. General computer literacy is a prerequisite.

Reminder: On-line registration ends Sunday night!
