<u>Basic Computer</u> | |||
This class is not teaching about genealogy and how it is done, but is designed to help those who are just learning about computers and how they work. | |||
<u>Basic Computer #1</u> | |||
You will learn basic computer language for use of the computer. There is class time and practice time. | |||
<u>Basic Computer #2</u> | |||
We look at word processors and their function. We talk about the kinds of word processors there are and their differences. We learn how to create documents and folders and how to join them. | |||
<u>Basic Computer #3</u> | |||
We take an in-depth look at the things you can do with the word processor to make the documents you produce come to life. | |||
Descendancy Research | |||
Would you like to do more temple work in your own family? Do you need temple names for youth to do? Learn how to find counsins that are related to you and qualify them for temple work. The LDS church's family tree is giving you lots of hints to find such cousins. | |||
Puzzilla.org is an app that also helps to find ends of lines that have not been found yet. Come and learn how to research or attach sources so the work can be done by you. | |||
Scanners Workshop | |||
Before you upload your pictures or documents to your flash drive, or to Family Search, they must be digitized. This class will teach you how to use the scanners at the Center to digitize your material, including slides, pictures and negatives. You will also learn how to scan a book, or multi-page documents. | |||
<u>Photo Repair</u> | |||
This class will use the GIMP program for the class. While it is an extensive photo program, we will be focusing on the 7 tools in that program to allow a person to take out blemishes in the photo. We will learn how to repair rips and tears, or folds in the picture. Please bring a photo you would like to have repaired. This picture must already be scanned and put on your flash drive. You will have time to practice on a computer. | |||
<u>Match and Merge</u> | |||
Do you find duplicates in your life? Are there wives, children or duplicate parents you don't recognize? Being able to find and merge duplicate records will help solve some problems in your family tree. | |||
<u>Web Indexing</u> | |||
You can now index on your tablets of or other mobile devices. No downloads are required! Come learn the new program. Searchable only. Indexing is vital to temple and family history work because it helps "fuel the find"; through indexed records, more and more people are now able to find their family members and add them to their family trees so they can perform temple ordinances. Because of Indexing, more SOURCES are becoming available every day!! | |||
