METHODOLOGY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP (SIG)

Coordinator - Chuck Mason (cgrs791@netscape.com)
The next meeting will be February 1st at HHSC Room 114 at 1:30PM and
the topic will be
“Organize and Manage Your Research or It Will
Overwhelm You”

Researching our ancestors produces a lot of information and often a lot of
records.  Managing both the information and the records is not hard; it just
takes a little effort.  Ways to manage research include paper-filing systems,
computer programs, and record forms.
The Methodology SIG meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 1:30
PM in the MVGS library.  The programs will be of interest to both beginning
and intermediate level researchers and will cover various types of records,
researching in various facilities, and how to solve research problems.  Unlike
the other SIGs that cover geographic areas, the programs will not relate to a
specific geographic area.  

The programs cover at the meeting will be selected base on the interest of
the members of the group.  At least once a year the group will have a
meeting on brick wall problems where members of the group can present a
problem to the group.  Members of the group will suggest ways of solving
the problem.  At each meeting there will be time for members of the group
to ask questions not related to the topic of that month's topic.

Reminder notices announcing the topic for the month as well as any
handouts will be emailed prior to each meeting.  To be included on the email
list send an email to Chuck Mason at cgrs791@netscape.com .  Please
include your name, email address, and telephone number in your email.
