Once
you know how to enter your information into Family Tree Maker and have
made good progress doing so, it is good to know how to access that information
in the form of reports and trees. This class will help you to learn
how to create reports to further your research as well as learning to
create books, trees, reports and web sites to show off your family history.
Once you have gone through all of the work of entering your family data
knowing how to create these trees and reports will give you the best
access to the information that is in your file.
Bio:
Cindy Rowzee
grew up in upstate New York. As a child, she watched her parents travel
to neighboring states and to Canada to do genealogy research, and that's
when her interest began.
A graduate of Brigham Young University, Cindy earned a Family History
degree with a focus on North American research. As a student, she worked
at the Utah Valley Regional Family History Center, and held internships
at the Utah Valley Regional FHC, at the Family History Library (Salt
Lake City, Utah), and for Lineages, a genealogical researching company.
After graduation, Cindy became an Accredited Genealogist in the Northeastern
States Region (now Mid-Atlantic States Region), and returned to upstate
New York, where she has lived for several years.
Cindy has taught on-line genealogy classes for several years and continuing
education classes at a local community college. In addition to working
on her own genealogy, she does a limited amount of professional research.
Her passion is helping others gain the skills they need to find their
own ancestors. She is newsletter co-editor for the International Commission
for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogist (ICAPGen).
Currently a stay-at-home mom of two little girls, she spends most of
her spare time working on genealogy.
