Jun 2019 - Genealogy and Modern Technology

Nancy Trimble, Chair of our local genealogical society, and past president of the Ontario Genealogical Society, presented commentary for a set of slides developed by Anne Delong, another member of the local genealogical society.
During the last thirty years, the tools and resources available to people who enjoy researching their family trees have grown exponentially. Nancy showed how genealogists have changed their processes over time to take advantage of everything from message boards, optical character recognition, online databases, family tree software, social media, and even DNA comparison to find their relatives.
