We all have to start somewhere, and the Beginners SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group for WHAGS members who aren't experts (yet) to meet, discuss, and learn about the basics of genealogy and building your family tree. 

    Each month we'll cover a different topic and talk about it in easy-to-digest terms and language... even DNA!  Topics planned now include, Getting Started, DNA, Organizing All My Stuff, Organizing Digital Records, Genealogy Websites such as Ancestry.com, Find-a-Grave, and WikiTree, and more.

    Each month will also include an open Q&A session to help you with your beginners questions.

​

Next meeting:  Tuesday, October 20th, 10:00 am, via Zoom.

​​​​October topic:  Organizing Your Digital Files  

    Soon after you get started with your family research, you begin to accumulate a lot of digital files... census records, photos, obituaries, newspaper articles, and more and more.  But how do you organize them so you can find what you want, when you want to find it?

    Join us as Neal shows his method of organizing the 1000's of digital documents.
