The first part of each meeting is a presentation on some aspect of RootsMagic. The second part of each meeting is a time for Questions and Answers.  We will help you with questions that relate to your family tree.  You can ask any questions that you wish to learn how to do anything pretaining to your actual database.

It would be appropriate to bring your laptop, and this is the case for any of our Roots Magic meetings, if you so desire.  Internet access is available at this library for online research during the meeting.

So, please bring your questions with you on Saturday.
