The North Collin County Genealogical Society invites you to their monthly meeting. The Special Guest Speaker is Mr. Mike McKee.
Learn how to use Google Earth to tell your ancestor's journey to the present. Mr. McKee will show how to use the free Google Earth program to track the migration of your ancestors and how to place images and documents into a virtual tour that can be shared on websites, blogs or as a presentation at your next family reunion. This will be a wonderful program for anyone who is trying to organize their records for presentation and for those who just want to make their family histories more visually interesting.
This is a FREE event that is open to all.
