Description

Jewish Genealogy Society of Maryland �Using FamilySearch and Family History Centers� The next meeting of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Maryland will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2014, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the Pikesville Library�s meeting room, 1301 Reisterstown Rd, in Baltimore. The program will be presented by James Schollian, George Harmon, and John Graves of the Hampstead Family History Center. Their presentation will give a brief background of the LDS Church�s worldwide efforts to document, digitize, and index available records essential to family history research (including Jewish records). They will explain how to use the FamilySearch web site, sign up as a free member, use the site as a personal repository for your own records, access the learning aids, and get one-on-one help locally on the phone or in person. They will also demonstrate some of the features of the Family Tree program and provide some time to answer questions. The LDS Church-sponsored Family History Center in Hampstead and the one in Columbia have free access to a number of premium internet sites, including Ancestry.com, Heritage.com, and Findmypast.com. In addition, any of the thousands of microfilms from the Salt Lake City genealogical library can be ordered online and reviewed at the local centers. Both centers have computers, film readers, printers, and internet access, which are available free of charge. The program is free for paid members and $5 for non-members (applied to membership fee when a visitor joins JGSMD) after their first meeting. Refreshments will be available.
