Get More Value From Your Genealogy Software
Column published: 23 June 2009
By: Shirley Gage Hodges Biography & Archived Articles
I hope that you have found a genealogy software program that you enjoy using. I do not intend to advise you about which one to use because it's all a matter of taste, and tastes do differ. At any rate, most of us are convinced that the one we are using is the best program available.
User guides:
Regardless of the program you are using, make use of all of the information that is offered. Too many of us still have our genealogy software instruction manual in it's shrink-wrap packaging. I will admit that I am avoiding looking at my bookcase while I am typing this portion of the article. These manuals are valuable tools that help you compare different options and features of our computer programs.
Classes and workshops:
When you have the opportunity to attend a lecture or class featuring the software you use, I would encourage you to attend. Even if you are a long time user of the program you will pick up dozens of ideas and tips that will help you improve your results using your genealogy program. Most people use less that 20% of the capabilities of their program. Find out about the other 80%, and decide which of those features and options will help you. With the click of a mouse you can learn how to create a family history book that your family and descendants will treasure.
It was fun meeting so many Global Gazette readers at the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) Conference 2009 in Oakville, Ontario last month. And it was especially nice to reconnect with those of you whom I've met at previous OGS conventions. Next year's Ontario Genealogical Society Conference 2010 will be held at the Doubletree Hotel and convention centre in Toronto (by the airport). I hope to see you there.
Until next time :)
