RootsMagic is one of the popular family tree software tools that can help both beginners and experienced professionals research, organize, and share their family history.
Gerry will explore the basics of this RootsMagic genealogy program for keeping track of your family history. Roots Magic 9 was released within the past year and he will cover updates and new features that this version offers. If time permits, he will also address Roots Magic 10, which has just come out.
Whether you already have RootMagic, or you want to learn more about it first, this informative workshop will be of help. RootsMagic is inexpensive and is available for Windows and MacOS systems, with a free trial option.
Gerald (Gerry) Poulton
I began genealogical searching in the days of microfilms, microfiche and paper records when little was on line or indexed. As information became more and more readily available, I have become more familiar with searching and have been actively involved in research for more than thirty years.
I am a member of several genealogical societies and volunteer at the Victoria Genealogical Society’s Learning and Research Centre every week. I have also been making presentations and workshops on a variety of topics for more than fifteen years. My heritage is England (Devon, London), Ireland, Germany and Ontario, so those are the areas with which I am most familiar. And, no, my tree is not complete!
I was born and raised in Saskatchewan, and in a previous life taught Chemistry at the University of Victoria for nearly 40 years.
