Guest Speaker: Thomas MacEntee CREATING AN ANCESTOR PROFILE
Most genealogists never get around to publishing that family history book based on their genealogy research. How about a different approach: producing short 3-5 page sketches about an ancestor? During this program, you’ll learn how to include a cover, photos, facts, family stories, source citations and more! And once you get a few of these ancestor sketches done, you can compile them together for one big book!
Thomas MacEntee is a Baby Boomer guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry almost 40 years ago, and then left a lucrative IT career to pursue his love of family history and genealogy. Technology and historical research are opposites, but “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide today’s genealogists through the maze of options so they can deploy the best apps and devices to break down research brick walls. Thomas MacEntee: author, educator, advocate, entrepreneur, and that “genealogy guy” who helps you accomplish your family history goals.
