This link contains movie clips I am finding fascinating.  One is on new Technologies and Trends (4 parts for about a half hour) and one is a humorous rendition with a man standing in the rain talking about genealogy and another is on an old mortician telling about his work and that of his father.  There is one on Capturing The Past-Introduction to Oral History, too. -- Mary Lou Rogers

Computers and Genealogy

Computers were invented to do genealogy.
Genealogy is a perfect group project because it challenges most computer tools.

Community Project:
Volunteers maintain this archive by posting directly to the web from their home computers.

We strive to conclude our program around 3:00 p.m. Interest sometimes can be high and we may go beyond 3:00 p.m. but our meeting concludes at 3:00 p.m.
