Florida has entered phase 3; however, meeting in person is still not possible. Cooper Memorial Library has limited capacity in the Genealogy Room until further notice. Due to Covid-19 and the community’s limitations, Pastfinders has moved to the internet to educate the public.

The Zoom platform is easy to use and has become a critical tool in having face-to-face virtual events.  Everyone can, in real-time, talk to one another to discuss the topic at hand. As a genealogical society, Pastfinders is using this platform to educate the public for free by teaching classes in DNA, Family Tree Maker, Irish Ancestry, and Beginner Research class. The DNA SIG teaches how to organize and solve match-list problems. Family Tree Maker software is the best way to organize your family history on your computer. If you have Irish Ancestors, this class is for you.

If you are the family historian, please check out the How to Start Your Family Research Class. These classes are staggered on different days of the week and different weeks of the month.  To find out how to join a class, click on “Event Calendar” at www.PastfindersSLC.Org or Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/pastfindersofSL. Contact us at WebMaster@PastfindersSLC.Org we would like to see you on Zoom.
