One of the most overlooked resources in genealogical research is newspapers. We sometime dismiss them for a variety of reasons – one being that newspapers are not indexed, thus hard to search. Second, we usually don’t believe that our ancestors were important enough to be among the news of the day. Well, times have changed and there are many newspapers that have been digitized, thus making our searches much easier. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you can find among the pages of the daily news. Newspapers are more than obituaries and death notices – finding marriages, birth announcements, military service, etc. can help to enhance your research by bringing a historical context to your family tree. Learn the genealogical clues that can be found in newspapers, learn where to find them, how to search them and how to make them worth your time. Newspapers are a wonderful source.
We will be raffling off a copy of the ultimate screen capture tool, SnagIt. SnagIt gives you all the tools you need to create engaging images and videos. Snag any image or text from your screen and enhance it with effects, and other tools. This would be very helpful for usew with on line digitized newspapers or other on line or computerized genealogical material.

By Neil Brennan
Our speaker, Neil Brennan is from Amherst and will discuss the general field of Three Dimensional printing/3D printing. Since most people have never heard of 3D printing this presentation should generate much interest. Mr. Brennan's business involves making 3D business cards, however as Neil will explain, just about anything can be made using 3D printing. Your ideas can be made into reality using his sister company 3D Bakery LLC. Neil's business career began at the age of 12 when he ran a boarding hous for vacationer's pets. This business was so successful it helped put him through college. Neil also has another company that he runs, called Genius Innovation which deals with bottled water. In a recent Amherst News-Times article he stated that he is a very good planner and was thinking about working for a federal disaster relief agency. However he realized that entrepreneurship was wired into him. Fortunately for us, his business spirit and interest will provide for a very interesting experience as we learn all about 3D printing.
