“Tracking Lives with Technology – Family History Update Webinar”
Donald R. Snow
11/30/21
Categories: O, S
Talk Abstract:
An old proverb says, “When a person dies, an entire library is lost.” If a person doesn’t leave accessible information about their life, their descendants in about two generations will know almost nothing about them. Technology can be a major help in keeping track of what has happened in your own or a relative’s life. This class will show how to find and label items such as documents, articles, news clippings, etc., so they become searbhable and appear in chronological order automatically for each person. With this file naming system items jump to where they belong without you having to move them there. The class notes for this presentation and related information in other articles, all with active links, are posted at https://uvtagg.org/classes/dons/dons-classes.html.
