Genealogy Jottings

Awhile back I mentioned attending the 2011 Colorado Genealogical Society seminar. I was one of the lucky recipients of a door prize that day–a free membership to the Computer Interest Group (CIG) that operates under the auspices of CGS. Earlier this week I went to a CIG workshop meeting and met with a group of people there who use the same genealogy software that I use.  A couple of very experienced and knowledgeable users led a Q & A session about the software. I came home with several ideas of ways to make the program more useful to me. The very next day I modified my screen layout and began implementing some of the advanced task tracking features that the program offers. Both of these will be great time savers for me. Less time spent on organizing information means more time to spend on research!
