    You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer
    User Group (WAC), scheduled on Saturday, August 21st from 12:30 PM to
    3:30 PM at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), 4210 Roberts
    Road, Fairfax, Virginia. The meeting is free and open to the public. Preregistration is not required to attend.

    Genealogy is a popular computer project, and wanting to know more
    about family history seems to almost be universal as we age. There are numerous genealogy web sites, applications and sources in the
    marketplace. WAC member Chuck Roberts won't join the debate of which
    is "best," but will present some of the insights and tools he has
    found that help organize collected materials, show what's missing, and
    what should be researched next. Data organization is paramount when
    looking at a three foot stack of paper! Regardless of what the stack contains - census records or prints of microfilm, death certificates, headstone tracings or maps and photos - Chuck's tools, handouts and
    samples will help any family researcher get a better picture of what
    they have and what is missing.

    Also during the August meeting, WAC member Paul Howard will host a
    Learn 30 tutorial session about using RoboForm's Password Manager, a
    useful tool to automate entering frequently used information into
    forms on web sites.

    WAC is a non-profit general interest computer user group that supports
    the Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems. For more information, visit our web site athttp://www.wacug.org/, e-mail info

    2022 Update: So how's Fairfax County these days?
    (Probably the wrong place, or person, to get an answer?)
