Genealogy Refocus Group: Good meeting was had!


The January 2020 meeting of GRF (Genealogy Refocus Group) met at our new location, the Spokane Public Library out on north Indian Trails Road. Lynda Keenan, as group honcho, did a great job with a large group of attendees. The program was a review of three popular genealogy programs...... ones for YOU to keep on YOUR computer:

Kathy Warren explained about Family Tree Maker;  Sonji Rutan touted Legacy;  John Wilson did a show-and-tell for RootsMagic (he is the local leader of that special interest group).

I gleaned two great quotes from this meeting:  From Lynda Keenan:  "If you can research yourself, you can research anybody."  And from Jamie Shanahan: "Be a researcher not a searcher."

Next meeting is Wednesday, February 19, 1:00, Indian Trail Library. All are welcome.
