Those that may interested in making wall charts - check out Legacy Charting a free standard edition. Go to www.LegacyFamilyTree.com - this is a free down load.

Another interesting website is www.tribalpages.com This has a great deal of information that a genealogist would be interested in learning about. This web site will be discussed by Judy Wright in our May meeting, so try to get familiar with it. Be sure to tell your friends about visiting our website.

The members of our club welcome you to our web home and know you will find it informative.   We are a happy bunch who just love to talk about genealogy.  We crave to learn more about how to do research and especially like to share our successes and our family histories.

Many people do not know what genealogy is, so look us over and learn.

We invite all of our neighbors in Oak Run to visit us during one of our meetings. Who knows, you may be come a genealogist too!!

"What's in a name?. The answer is, quite a bit actually. If you are beginning a search of your family tree it will help you tremendously to know the history of your family name. Many of the English ancestors have family crests that have been handed down for generations. Come to the meeting and talk about your family name and its origin.

Genealogy vs Family History

What is Genealogy?

Genealogy is the scholarly study of a family's line of descent from its ancestors, during which one can develop an understanding of the family's historical context and documents its history and traditions.

What is Family History?

Family History - is the study of a family's history and traditions over an extended period of time and may involve documenting some and all of the facts.

NOTICES:

We suggest that you do not purchase the Family Tree Maker 2008, at this time. 

Ancestry has many bugs to work out, This software has a completely redesigned interface, not at all like the FTM 2005, version 16.
