Tapping the Power Of Familysearch August 13 @ 7pm FamilySearch, a free website sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, provides family history researchers with access to original historical records from around the world, indexes linked directly to many of those records, an ever-growing genealogical “encyclopedia,” instructional videos and much more. Even experienced researchers often do not know how to tap the power of FamilySearch’s many databases and articles. This presentation will provide a “tour” of the website and suggest search strategies for locating the historical records. Will the Real Sven Larsson Please Stand Up? Getting Started in Swedish Genealogy September 18 @ 7pm Dr. Daniel Hubbard will discuss Swedish last names that can be fluid and confusing, and Swedish genealogy that trips up the uninitiated. You’ve got your swimsuit, so what else is needed to cross the Atlantic with your research and what records are there once you crawl up onto the shore?
