Genealogy
SIG Chairman

Genealogy SIG objectives are to provide a live forum at which
members can share experiences in computer related genealogy research. It is hoped that the
scope will include demonstrations of specialized genealogy software, methods of on-line
searching and useful on-line sites, and real-life experiences of members in using computer
related resources in their research. 'Informality' will be our buzzword; 'sharing' our
standard! See the Meeting Information page for date and time of the meetings. The next Genealogy SIG meeting will be in October. |
Photography
SIG Chairman: |
This will be a forum for members to share new products,
experiences, ideas, problems, etc. It will cover any hardware, software or internet
resources that relate to doing digital photography; i.e. taking pictures, down loading
pictures, scanning pictures, e-mailing pictures, insert pictures in a website, printing,
web albums, organizing pictures, etc. See the Meeting Information page for date and time of the meetings. At the June meeting, Mel Smart did a demonstration on downloading photos, set up albums, creating different picture formats to print and cut up. Mel went to a lot of work bring all his equipment to the meeting and also showed the group how it is all set up. He also discussed and demonstrated his USB 2 hub. Mel did an excellent job and even though there was a small group in attendance, his demonstration was very much appreciated by all. Much thanks to Mel for a job well done!

At the May meeting, John Wyckoff demonstrate the use of Microsoft FrontPage to design of a website. He showed the rich functionality and flexibility of the program. Although it possible to get into coding HTML with FrontPage, the web site John demonstrated was designed with out getting into coding at all. See the Meeting Information page for date and time of the meetings. As was discussed at prior meetings, even if you plan to use a graphics editor to design your web pages, it is extremely helpful to learn a little about HTML.
