Branch meetings
There has been a change of date for the September meeting – it will be held tonight with the Durham Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society at the Oshawa Public Library Auditorium, Bagot St., Oshawa at 7:30 pm.
The topic will be Solve Genealogical Problems by Creating a Timeline (recorded webinar)
Timelines are very useful ways of visualizing data. Timelines give you an order of and context for events, or to show what kinds of events were happening around your ancestors. Using Excel spreadsheets, this webinar will show how to solve different types of genealogical problems by using timelines.
