RootsTech Conference Virtual Tips for us stay-at-homes

The Armchair Genealogist: RootsTech Conference: 10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Virtual Experience:

'via Blog this'
If, like me, you can't attend the RootsTech Conference in Salt Lake City starting tomorrow Mar 21, check out the blog above for some great advise on how to take advantage of the conference virtually (and free). Between the live-streaming of some of the sessions and conversations on twitter and facebook, we can feel involved in the experience.

Lynn Palermo, The Armchair Genealogy, even mentions a great use for Evernote which will be the topic of our EGS meeting tomorrow, Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 7:00pm at the Gail Borden Public Library.

Sad News

I'm so sorry to have to report this information. The Daily Herald reported this morning:

Sandra M. "Sandy" Granholm of West Dundee Sandra M. "Sandy" Granholm (nee Warrington), age 61, passed away on Thursday. Arrangements are incomplete in the Miller Funeral Home, West Dundee, 847-426-3436.

Sandy was a long-time member of EGS and an inspiration to many. She was with us just a month ago donating her latest genealogy book to the library. She will be greatly missed.

RIP Sandy
