Forty-three
EGS members and guests attended our June morning meeting and were treated to
our first ever
live-streaming webinar featuring Thomas MacEntee. Thomas is
always a welcome speaker but distance and timing can make it difficult to schedule
a program. However, through the magic of the internet, EGS enjoyed an excellent
presentation.

Thomas,
being an old-hand at producing webinars, assisted us through some techy issues.
Of course, setting up the PC, projector, and speakers are familiar tasks for
our “IT” members. We were quickly linked up with Thomas and the very
interesting talk began. Our only lingering problem is getting the PC’s
microphone to work. Something we’ll be working on for next time.
Thomas
presented “10 Ways to Jumpstart Your Genealogy” to 86 eager ears. Most of us have
felt as though we’re tramping through the mire from time to time. We’re stuck
on a particular ancestor or just feel overwhelmed. Thomas suggested 10 ways to
overcome and get back on track. My favorite was “Goal Setting.” Too often I
find myself jumping from one thing to another because I haven’t set a goal on
which to focus my attention.
If you get a
chance to hear this presentation, I recommend it highly!
Now that EGS
has gotten our first such Live Online program under our belt, I’m sure it won’t
be our last. It’s a great way to provide meaningful education from well-known
speakers without the expense of travel. We’ll be thinking about the possibilities!
