FEBRUARY 6, 2023
Using County Histories as a Resource -- Kim Harrison
Published county histories are a popular resource, but the researcher needs to understand their limitations as well as the rich clues they provided for the genealogist. These clues may provide some of the best information on the local and county level -- tips about disasters, financial expansion, business, and the ethnic make-up of the community. For Kim's bio, click here.
Club Topic of the Month: Overview of the West Valley Genealogical Society -- Vicki Reisenfeld

Error Proofing Your Tree Using Family Tree Analyzer Workshop -- Vicki Reisenfeld
Family Tree Analyzer is a free program that analyzes a GEDCOM file and “suggests” specific records that may be errors (i.e., potential duplicate ancestors, marriages at a very young age, children born after mother's death, etc.). The software also suggests missing records from outside genealogy databases. The information can be exported into a spreadsheet for easy review and filtering of like errors. This will include a real-time workshop, so members will be asked to bring their laptops and a GEDCOM copy of their tree. We will provide directions on how to export a GEDCOM file during the May meeting. Vicki, our presenter, is club president and an experienced genealogist who's had success using this program to discover errors in her tree.
