Wednesday, November 6
An Overview of WikiTree  (Monthly Meetings)
2:00 pm
PGCGS Library, 12219 Tulip Grove Dr., Bowie, MD 20715
NOTE NEW TIME!
 
There are numerous places to build your family tree online, often for free.  You may want to check out WikiTree, a website for building a free, collaborative tree that may be among the best-resourced one around.  Darrell Brown has used WikiTree for years and will show us some of the many features and explore the advantages that using WikiTree affords. 
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MEETING!  YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T READ THIS!
For this month, we will change our meeting time from 7 PM to 2 PM, our normal library closing time on the first Wednesday.  Our goal is to encourage you to visit our library and to offer an in-person, daytime event for those who don't want to drive at night.  There will also be a virtual option for out-of-towners, and we will record the presentation for those in different time zones who may not be able to attend.  We want to reach more of our members and hopefully, this may be one way to do so.  Please join us in our library to do some research before the meeting. Our experienced library staffers are available to help you find what you need.  We open at 10 AM and our resources cover much of the US, with main focus on Maryland and other eastern states (view our catalogue at https://pgcgs.org).
