Our Speaker: Bernard N. Meisner, is a genealogist and lecturer based in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. He began researching his family 30 years ago and enjoys sharing lessons learned from that experience, including his mistakes.

Our Program: “Techniques and Strategies for More Effective Online Searching”.
As more genealogical material becomes available through the Internet it is essential to formulate efficient searches to find the relevant information about your ancestors. This presentation will cover how to determine what information is available, where it is located, and how to use search tools such as filters, wildcards, relationships, and complementary data sources to improve the likelihood of finding it. The hand-out for the program is attached to this email.
This will be a virtual presentation, hosted by the Texas State Genealogical Society and the Hopkins County Genealogical Society. We hope you will join us for this very informative program.
