'''Class topic''': "A Gift of Life: Who's Writing Your Story?" | |||
'''Description:''' How do you want to be remembered? As genealogists, we always seem to skip over ourselves – so who’s telling your story? Who knows better than you the joy, pain, and laughter of your life? Remember that our lives, as well as the lives of our ancestors are made up of more than census records and family group sheets. Only you can tell the real stories of love, loss, forgiveness and change. Don’t leave the task of finding the answers of your life’s history to someone else – take the time to write your life story. Learn the importance of reliving your past and reflecting on who you are today. Explore ways to remember the past which no record would provide and writing in six-word memoirs. Using typical genealogical resources learn the ease of writing your history and bringing your personal story to life. | |||

'''Class topic''': "A DNA Match with No Tree?" | |||
'''Description:''' Have you been frustrated by finding a DNA match only to discover they have not linked their family tree? Their tree is probably not the only tree that includes their matching ancestor, and with some creative and persistent sleuthing, it can be found. Join us as we walk through the case study of a DNA match without a tree, and learn the techniques to not only find a tree, but then incorporate additional strategic techniques to possibly uncover the connection between you and the match. Join DNA expert Diahan Southard and Google guru Lisa Louise Cooke for this ground-breaking session. | |||
