+'''Class topic: "'''Don't Just Be a Search, Be a Researcher"
 '''Description''': In this age of easy internet access to billions of genealogical records, internet search engines, and SIRI it is easy to think all we have to do is ask a computer for the identity of our great-great-grandparents. Searching is a great first step. But then we must research. And re-search. And re-search again. In this presentation we will cover the basics of good search strategies and some tips about how to be an even better researcher.

Learn how to find the mothers, daughters, wives in your lines through their own records and the records of their menfolk. ('''Presenter''': Judy G. Russell.
