Gather with fellow ASHM members and explore the branches of your Swedish ancestry!
The lecture topic for this meeting is "Genealogy - Basics to Swedish Nobility"
The Internet and computers have transformed Genealogy research from visiting courthouses, archives, and cemeteries to doing most of one’s research online getting Church/Government records and seeing family trees. Bill Fagerstrom will briefly describe researching and sharing family history using these new techniques. They include:
-Writing and sharing your memories with family
-How FamilySearch.org (free) and Ancestry.com (mainly subscription) are used to find records and family trees
-DNA basics and how it is used to find family members
-Using Genealogy computer programs to store records and help write one’s family history
-How to search Swedish Church and government records online
-Using Swedish Nobility records (they extended Bill’s family tree back many generations)
