Did you know that there some 200 genealogy software programs out there? Which one is right for you?The Jewish Genealogical Society of Washington State will help you with "Genealogy Software: Today and Tomorrow" at its next program at 7pm Monday, February 9, at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island.
This program will help participants narrow down the choices to select one that's right for each person's needs.
The session will look at ways to sort the broad feature sets to help evaluate the programs, and attendees will walk away with a list of criteria to use when selecting a software program.
Also, learn about current and future trends in online software, genealogical social networking and how online genealogy sites can help you connect with others researching the same families in the US and around the world.

I have recently completed a book about my parents and siblings during the war and what happened after wards. Below is a brief summary:
ReplyDeleteBaby Boomers are getting older, and our parents are beginning to leave us. For many of us, issues of inheritance will be handled fairly and equitably. But what would it be like if it didn’t go as expected? In my memoir Broken Birds, I describe the story of my mother, a Partisan fighter in World War II, and my father, a survivor of Dachau death camp, and their five children. When Mom dies, she doesn't leave the family home to Dad, or distribute it evenly among the five children, but instead leaves it to a single child. What was once a close-knit family is now led down the road to emotional destruction.
