November 28th General Meeting
10:00 am Online via Zoom
Our next meeting will be on Saturday, November 28th at 10:00 a.m. This meeting will be held via Zoom. Beth Foulk will be our presenter, and the topic will be "Solving Genealogy Problems with Timelines".
 When you create a personal timeline of an ancestor’s life, it is easy to see facts, relationships, and stories emerge that were never before apparent. This class walks discusses how to create a timeline and the many uses for them in genealogy research and analysis. Genealogist Beth Foulk was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, and currently lives in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. She has been interested in family history since grade school. Her dad, who built a small family tree that Beth found fascinating, is credited with infecting her with the genealogy bug. Without the exposure to his interests and work, she would never have started down the genealogy road. Beth’s ascent into full-blown “junkie-dom” occurred in 1998 when she learned that genealogy software could build a family tree database.
Beth’s research and speaking topics focus on American research East of the Mississippi and pre-1865. Beth began teaching genealogy classes when the Midwest Genealogy Center opened in 2008. She currently speaks throughout the greater Kansas City metro area and regionally at Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska state events.
Beth is been a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and various genealogical societies She holds an MBA in marketing. Beth can be found online at http://www.genealogydecoded.com

Genealogy Writers Group
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Central Resource Library 9875 W. 87th St. Overland Park, KS
The Writing Group meets in the Picard room of the Central Resource Library.
Our Purpose:
Our writing group has two purposes. One is to encourage its participants to be actively engaged in writing something relating to their family history. It could be a personal memory, a life story or biographical sketch, or a story about an ancestor. Other possibilities could be an article for submission to a genealogical publication or even a complete family history book. The other purpose is to provide a comfortable environment that is friendly and nurturing yet challenging. Participants can learn ways to bring genealogy to life and to make their writing engaging and interesting to others.
This is a special interest group of the JCGS and is a free benefit of membership. Members interested in writing about their family history are welcome to participate and will get the most benefit by attending on a regular basis and becoming actively involved.
This group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday afternoons, 1 p.m. in the Pickard Room at the Central Resource Library located at 9875 W 87th St, Overland Park, Kansas.

February 24th General Meeting
10:00 am to 12:00 pm Carmack Room Central Resource Library 9875 W. 87th St. Overland Park, KS
General Meeting: February 24, at 10:00 a.m. at the Johnson County Central Resource Library. Beth Foulk will our presenter, and the topic will be American Civil War Genealogy.
At only one time in our history did our country fracture at the seams as it did in the Civil War. Because of the issues of states’ rights, competing cultures, and the seminal issue of slavery did families, towns, and states turn on each other to the point of death. What role did my family play? Which side of the debate did we support? Did we lose family members? Civil War genealogy takes us back in time to see how our family helped forge this pivotal moment in history – changing the course of our country forever. Discover research tools among the soldiers’ records that will give rich meaning and texture to your family history.
About Beth Foulk:
Beth discovered her love of genealogy through her father, who built a 115-name family tree with every family member’s name he knew. While Beth continues to research her family, she shares her knowledge through lectures, articles, her blog, and one-on-one assistance. She particularly enjoys speaking at regional conferences. Her focus is Early American Genealogy.

ROOTS MAGIC USERS GROUP
10:00 am Central Resource Library Logan Room 9875 W. 87th, OP KS
Speaker: Marsha Donaldson
At the end of June, RootsMagic introduced the awaited TreeShare for Ancestry. At our August meeting, we discussed how it worked. Have you tried it? Do you have a success story that you would share?
We'll cover Facts, Sources, and Sharing facts. Does the fact fit in a category that already exists or does a new Fact Type need created for the information just found?
The "Add Person" form can be customized. When a new person is added, there is the birth, death and burial information in the "Add Person" screen; but for the family group that you are working with, there might be a Christening date that could be added to the screen to make it easier to add.
And definitely source information needs to be added. By adding a source, you will know where you finally found the information, so later you will not have to look at the same database again. Maybe at a later time you thought I have another member of the family who may be in that database and you will know where it is.
We'll also cover some of the items included in the Tools menu, such as color coding, setting relationship, etc. On the individual edit screen there is an address button. Why would you use enter an address?
Our December 2nd meeting will be a workshop where you bring your questions and work on your own family.
Any Questions? Please bring them with you on Saturday. |

RootsMagic
10:00 am The Learning Lab, Central Resource Library, 9875 W. 87th St. OP, KS
Saturday's meeting will be open discussion about using sources to document the facts in the Roots Magic program. By attaching a source to the fact, you will know where the information was obtained. It can be tedious entering all this source stuff. But next year when you look at your ancestor, will you say to yourself, "Why did I enter that date?"
There are over 400 different source type templates included in the Roots Magic program. If I have the death information of an ancestor, which template do I use? It all depends where you obtained the information such as from the courthouse, the state, the archives, a newspaper obituary, online, etc. We will discuss the options to help determine which one to use.
There will be some examples, but please bring your questions and any examples of facts to share with the group. Your participation in these discussions is always welcomed.
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.
After our meeting. the program committee is staying for 30 minutes to plan topics for future meetings. We need your help to determine these topics. What problems are you encountering with the program. We appreciated your input.

RootsMagic
10:00 am Logan Room, Central Resource Library
Speaker: Marsha Donaldson
You have been researching and finally found that bit of information you have been looking for in an indexed database. Now it needs to be added into your RootsMagic program. Which Fact should I use and should I enter a source for it? If you can't find a "Fact Type" that fits this information, one can be created to use, especially if there may be more information of this type. And definitely source information needs to be added. By adding a source, you will know where you finally found the information, so later you will not have to look at the same database again. Maybe at a later time you think - I have another member of the family who may be in tthat database - and you will know where it is.
Any Questions? Please bring them with you on Saturday.
It would be appropriate to bring your laptop, and this is the case for any of our Roots Magic meetings, if you so desire.

10:00 am to 11:30 am Pioneer Library, 4700 Town Center Dr. Leawood, KS (117th & Roe)
Program: Getting Started and More
Marsha Donaldson, our speaker, will give a brief review of opening a new database, importing from another program, or starting by typing a name.
Next, Marsha will discuss the main screen's sections, the six different views: Pedigree, Family and Descendants, Timeline, People View, WebSearch, and Toolbar. She will also illustrate how to create a new fact type by adding one for World War I Draft Registrations, show us how to import the information, and how to set up a group for the draft cards. The importance of backing up databases will be stressed and illustrated.
What problems have you encountered when entering your data? If you had the problem, someone else surely has had the same problem. This Saturday will be an excellent time to bring your questions and problems! We hope to can join us!

Let's share ideas! Of course our panel --- Carol Kuse, Michael Smith, Marsha Donaldson --- will answer your Roots Magic questions, but in addition, we'd like to have a more casual conversation and include ideas from all of you!
Just to get us started! Thinking about your week in genealogy ---
1. What was your most exciting discovery? What bit of information did you uncover that made you the happiest?
2. What would you like to do with the facts you've entered into Roots Magic? Is there something to do other than publishing a book?
3. What ideas do you have to encourage our children or grandchildren to have an interest in their family's history?
Bring your questions and your ideas! Better yet, let''s have a "SHOW and TELL"!

Imported to America: Immigrants as Indentured Servants and Convicts
10:00 am Johnson County Central Library, 87th and Farley Sts., Overland Park, KS
Presenter: Beth Foulk
It may be surprising to some that not all Europeans came to America seeking the land of “milk & honey.” Some were “transported” as the sentence for their crime of stealing, prostitution, or another non-capital offense. Others paid for their passage with years of uncompensated labor. It’s a revealing story, and an eye-opening look at a not often told side of Colonial America. In this class we break open the stories of 50,000 or more immigrants through the history and documents they’ve left behind.
