Navigating the Seven C's of Genealogy
Tuesday, June 9
Navigating the Seven C's of Genealogy  (Monthly Meeting)
1:00 pm
Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society Library
Thomas MacEntee will be presenting via a pre-recorded webinar at the SVGS Library in June. Our business meeting and board meeting will follow the presentation at 2 PM.
 
 
Thomas's topic: Navigating the Seven C's of Genealogy
Do genealogy "resolutions" really work? How about setting genealogy "goals" or "themes" instead? Here is a developed list of seven "themes" to guide you this year and hopefully you can institute these as general "rules to do genealogy by" over the next few years. The themes cover most areas of concern for every family historian, whether you've been at this for some time or you are just getting started. Participants will learn how to focus on seven key areas in genealogy researc: Clean, Collect, Curate, Create, Connect, Conserve and Continue.
(THIS WILL BE A VIRTUAL PRESENTATION)
 
Thomas's Bio:
Thomas MacEntee is a Baby Boomer guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry almost 40 years ago, and then left a lucrative IT career to pursue his love of family history and genealogy. Technology and historical research are opposites, but “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide today’s genealogists through the maze of options so they can deploy the best apps and devices to break down research brick walls. Thomas MacEntee: author, educator, advocate, entrepreneur, and that “genealogy guy” who helps you accomplish your family history goals.
 
Our business meeting and board meeting will follow the presentation at 2 PM.
