PRESENTATIONS AVAILABLE - PRINT

Click on one of the underlined links listed below to download or print the file. Warning: These handouts from the Genealogy SIG, useful for taking notes, may not be beneficial without hearing at least some of the presentations, but you are welcome to try them. The files with some exceptions are generally presentation points and not the complete text. I do not write out my presentations in full.

The size of the three largest files are listed at the end of the description. All other files are 65KB or smaller. All files are in Word97 format.

These handouts are being updated since many custom features of The Master Genealogist have been enhanced by both Wholly Genes and by us. These revisions will be added as time permits with an updated date added to the title of each item.
