Demonstrations and training using genealogical computer tools are available to automate many tasks associated with Family History. These include: Graphic Displays and Charts, Searching for Missing Ordinances, Attaching Sources, Descendancy, and Photos and Stories.

:Flatbed Scanner.  Excellent for books, documents, certificates, and items with thick bindings.
