We are starting a new SIG for FamilySearch.org.  Sharon Larsen will hold 2 sessions in March, Wednesday, March 1st, and Wednesday, March 22nd at 1:30 pm in the Genealogy Library (Please note change of time!)  The primary purpose of the 1st get-together will be to get started with using FamilySearch, a free, online world tree and record resource for you to utilize while finding more information about your ancestors. The March 22nd will focus on specific issues you might have in using FamilySearch.
