Google Strategies for Genealogy: How Many Do You Know?

Do you use Google for your Internet searches? Is that all you use it for? Did you know that behind that mild-mannered façade, Google is a powerhouse?

Do you know what to do:
•    At history.google.com to help with your genealogy searches?
•    To improve your results for your genealogical questions?
•    To set Google Alerts?

Do you know:
•    What symbols or functions to use to improve your searches?
•    How to go straight to free fully digitized books?
•    How to get foreign language books and the best way to translate them?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then we hope you will be with us in two weeks as we host Google expert, Lisa Louise Cooke, for our annual Fall Speaker Series. Lisa says, “I like to think of Google as the Uber of web content," and with Lisa's help, you can:
•    Learn to create a free map collection in Google Earth and customize your genealogy research.
•    Learn to use layers on your maps.
•    Explore the 3D Viewer and display historic map overlays.
•    Save Places, and much, much more!
