Advanced Googling for Genealogists

[JGSGB Announcements List (jgsgb-announce]

For any of you missed Michael Marx's excellent Google talks at JGSGB meetings (or want to hear them again), he has combined and updated the two programs and will be giving a presentation this evening at the Boston Public Library as part of their Family History Program. It's free and open to the public.

Because of the larger-than-usual attendance expected, the program has been moved to the Boston Room, which is in the Johnson Building (use the Boylston Street entrance) and is opposite the main Circulation Desk immediately on the left..

Note	Learn how to take your research to a new level by making your Google searches more successful. Google is a simple and helpful way to search the internet, but are you getting just what you want or need? When you get a promising looking return, do you know how to get the most out of it? Did you know there are many more very useful things Google can do beyond that simple search screen? These and many more questions will be answered at the program. This presentation will also show you how to use Google to find photographs and images of your ancestral town, get maps for towns and regions of interest, translate documents in other languages, connect with other researchers with similar interests, find unique resource materials which can be downloaded, and some of the new tools and finding aids coming out of Google Labs that allow you to customize Google to your specific interests.
