Did you know you can filter the GenFriends blog to find specific topics?

 

There's a wealth of information posted in the GenFriends blog. Were you too busy this summer to look at the blog?  Or, do you remember seeing something but can't find it now?

Try this:

(1) Open the GenFriends blog here: genfriends.blogspot.com

(2) Search on a label such as Take Action. 

The small image on this blog post shows all the current labels (listed alphabetically from 23andMe to Ziebold). When you are on the blog page, the labels are on the lower right side (you might need to scroll down to see them).

(3) Check out the specific blog posts that appear using my example (or your own filtering!).

Do You Use Family Tree software or are considering it?

Watch your upcoming GenFriends email for information about a soon-to-be launched Family Tree Maker (FTM) User Group in our local area.

In the meantime, I suggest:

(1) Don't have this software that syncs to ancestry.com (if you want it to do so)?  Then, check out this official FTM website for features that may help you determine if you want to give this a try. https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/

(2) Already have the Family Tree Maker Software (latest version is 2024)?  Download the user handbook that is included in the software - 342 pages full of "how to's".  Focus on one area at a time.  Feel free to click and click when using the software - you'll be surprised what you learn by doing.

(3) Are you a Family Tree Maker advanced user?  Help our GenFriends community by adding a comment to this blog post with a couple of your favorite "tips & tricks".
