Getting the most out of two of the major genealogy websites: ancestry.com and familysearch.org.

For ancestry: Learn how non-subscribers can benefit from using the ancestry index, free state resources, and windows of free access to limited collections. Learn more about getting the most out of your ancestry DNA test. Ancestry subscribers will learn how to take full advantage of all ancestry offers and what they’ve been missing.

For family search: Learn how to go beyond a simple records search, how to search specific collections, and how to use the family search catalog. Understand the difference between an ancestry family tree and family search’s wiki trees.

This class will also include some information about merging data into your computer-based genealogy program and syncing your Family Tree Maker or Roots Magic trees with ancestry.

Susan Mueller is a retired educator and administrator, Sue is a member of the Computer Users of Erie (Pennsylvania) where she leads the monthly Genealogy SIG. She has been working seriously on genealogy for more than 25 years.   Sue is also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and serves as the local chapter's registrar.  An active participant and presenter for the Erie Society for Genealogical Research, she also teaches monthly genealogy classes at the Erie County Public Library (now via Zoom).
