Online Family Trees—Fact or Fiction? (Hybrid class) (Education)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm HYBRID: OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
** Class will be Saturday, December 7th at 10 am PT. **
At some point, we have all researched online family trees, looking for the clue that will help us in our research, and we hope we will find that someone else has researched our family and put it online. But we can’t just add those people and their information to our tree without verifying that it is correct. I will show you how to spot incorrect information and clues that a tree has not been well-researched.
Instructor: Dawn Carlile
Class fee is $10 for OGS members and $15 for nonmembers.
Register here: attend on Zoom OR attend in person, then mail your check to OGS, 955 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR 97401-3148. If you would like to pay with a credit card, please call 541-517-0984.
