Living in a PC World! Tools for Macintosh® Users
The decision as to what computer to buy is made on many factors...what you’ve used in the past, the type of work you do, the software you wish to use. In the past, Macintosh users have had exceptional software, but not always the quantity available for other platforms. Today, Macintosh users not only have an easy to use, powerful and creative platform, but they CAN use ALL of the software and CD’s available. The Macintosh is the MOST compatible computer on the market…not only can it run great Macintosh software but with the announcement of the Intel based Macs, it can now run all of the PC software as well.
Saving a Life: Your Family’s Health History
A recent drug advertisement talks about how health problems can be caused not only by the environment, but also through heredity. For many years, health professionals have known that many common health problems run in families. The more you know about your family health history, the more you can do to reduce your risk of serious illness. As genealogists and family historians we routinely collect information about our ancestors and the causes of their deaths but putting the information together in a documented health history can not only assist your physician, but may save your life. Passing this information to your children or other family members may also provide them with life saving information.
Jumping the Pond: Finding the Origins of Your Immigrant Ancestor ∆
Before you flyaway to your ancestor’s county of origin, you will need to do your homework. Whatever the nationality of your immigrant ancestor, to effectively search you must begin at home. The most important piece of information is the town or parish where your ancestor was born. If you don’t know that information you must dig through records at home to harvest as much information as possible. This lecture will look at the types of records available in the United States that might help you identify a town of origin in the native country.
