10 Steps to Success: An Introduction to Genealogy
Whether you are new to genealogy, or not-so-new, this workshop should have something for you. By using an easy to follow, step-by-step guide, the workshop reviews many important genealogy research techniques and tools. Starting with the genealogy basics, the workshop progresses to an introduction of how today’s technologies are used by genealogists. There is even a section on how to put the internet to work while you sleep. There are tips along the way, anecdotes to help you avoid some common mistakes beginners make, a section on taking an ancestral journey, and a short case study just for fun. It’s a full workshop but handouts are provided for easy reference afterwards.
Merv Scott
and his wife are retired and now reside in rural North Saanich after nearly 40 years of city living in Victoria. Merv joined the Victoria Genealogical Society (VGS) shortly after retiring and has volunteered in several capacities over the years since. “So many strangers, around the globe, have assisted my research that I felt I had to give back by volunteering. What I didn’t expect was how much fun I would have volunteering and how many friends I’d make. I recommend it to everyone and I look forward to meeting you.” Merv
