ZOOM Genealogy Club - Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021

1:30 PM (EDT)

Penny Hartzell will present "Creating Timelines."  A timeline is a chronological arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence.

Last month we looked at how placing your genealogical information on a map can lead to new insights. Similarly, sketching out a timeline is another way to look at your data anew and perhaps make some discoveries that were right there in front of you all along.  A timeline can also reveal gaps in your research, where more information about your ancestor is needed.

Penny, a member of CPGC (Connecticut Professional Genealogists Council), is an experienced genealogist and presenter from Woodbury, CT.  We think you will enjoy her presentation.

The Zoom presentation will take place at 1:30 pm (EDT).  The new time will make it more convenient for the library's West Coast members to join the meeting.
