Every
genealogist has it, stacks and stacks of papers and books, images and
word processing documents all over their hard drive and not enough information
in their family file on the computer to find any of it. This class will
help you to design the best system of organization for you. It will
help you to see what you have and create a place where you will put
every record, copy, printout or transcription that you collect through
your research. There is no one system that is best though, the best
one is what works best for you and this class will help you to see what
your options are.
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.
