You should, she says modestly, plan to attend all 6! The lectures are being repeated through the year, with the times reversed - that is the earlier lecture is at the later time. (So if you can't attend the early lectures you can catch up).</div> <bR> <div> The first lecture is <B>"Paddle the Internet - Getting Started"</B>  - The secrets of email; Search Engine maths; Checking the Big 5".  </div> <div> Second - <B>"Searching for Treasure - Knowing Where to Look"</B> - Keeping track of your clues (Internet Diary, Just looking thanks (checking out websites), This is the Place (using pedigree sheets to know where to look).  </div> <div> Although there is some overlapping from second to first lecture, if attending only the second lecture you will need to know basic search techniques and be familiar with using a word processing program. </div> <bR> <div> Third lecture -<B> "Millions of Names - Using FamilySearch and other databases"</B> - Finding the Who Where and When on the WWW and keeping track of what you have found! Using TreePad. Going back to original records. You will need 5 generation Pedigree sheets starting from your parents (or, if younger than a silver citizen, your grandparents). </div> <div> Fourth lecture - <B>"Don't Reinvent the Wheel  - Finding Others Researching Your Family"</B> - Mailing Lists, Gateways, Webrings etc - all can be a wonderful help. Need pedigree sheets as above.</div> <div> Would be an advantage to have attended lectures one and two or similar.</div> <bR> <div> Fifth lecture - <B>"Your Internet Treasure Hunt - Keeping Track of YourClues"</B>.   <I><B><U>This is the important one!!</U></B></I>   Here we learn to plan our internet research logically and methodically and keep track of where we have been and what we find. Especially original records. Advanced research is only half the solution!!  Search, search, search and write, write, write and verify, verify, verify!!  Basic search techniques will NOT be covered. You will need to be familiar with copying and pasting. It will be to your advantage to send your 5 generation sheets (as above) to Jan well before the class (P O Box 25025, Auckland 1130).</div> <bR> <div> Each lecture comes with a floppy disk with URLs, TreePad etc. </div> <bR> <div> Sixth lecture - What to do with all this information?? - Genealogy computer programs. What can they do? What would you like them to do? Hands on tryouts of some programs. </div> <bR> <div> Each lecture is $20</div> <bR> <div> For more information email <A HREF="mailto: exec.officer@genealogy.org.nz" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto: exec.officer@genealogy.org.nz"><U>exec.officer@genealogy.org.nz</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  </div> <div>  </div> <div>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
