Navigating the Seven C’s of Genealogy

Tuesday, June 9th

1:00 pm

SVGS Library

6111 188 PL NE, Arlington, WA

This month we will be watching another great pre-recorded webinar at the SVGS Library presented by Thomas MacEntee.

Thomas’s topic: Navigating the Seven C’s of Genealogy

Do genealogy “resolutions” really work? How about setting genealogy “goals” or “themes” instead? Thomas has 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 of genealogy research: Clean, Collect, Curate, Create, Connect, Conserve and Continue.

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.

There will be a short break with refreshments after the presentation followed by our monthly business meeting.
