You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer User Group (WAC), scheduled on Saturday, August 21st from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), 4210 Roberts Road, Fairfax, Virginia. The meeting is free and open to the public. Preregistration is not required to attend. Genealogy is a popular computer project, and wanting to know more about family history seems to almost be universal as we age. There are numerous genealogy web sites, applications and sources in the marketplace. WAC member Chuck Roberts won't join the debate of which is "best," but will present some of the insights and tools he has found that help organize collected materials, show what's missing, and what should be researched next. Data organization is paramount when looking at a three foot stack of paper! Regardless of what the stack contains - census records or prints of microfilm, death certificates, headstone tracings or maps and photos - Chuck's tools, handouts and samples will help any family researcher get a better picture of what they have and what is missing. Also during the August meeting, WAC member Paul Howard will host a Learn 30 tutorial session about using RoboForm's Password Manager, a useful tool to automate entering frequently used information into forms on web sites. WAC is a non-profit general interest computer user group that supports the Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems.
