Most of us are most definitely NOT power users of our family history software. When in doubt, we just click more insistently. Our most frequently asked question is “Help?”
So when the Friday program for the Ontario Genealogical Society’s Conference 2010 was in development, it seemed obvious we should offer in-depth sessions on popular programs. In particular, we felt that those using RootsMagic and Legacy Family Tree could use some support.
Bill Bienia will present "Working Effectively with RootsMagic".
So on Friday morning at Conference, William H. (Bill) Bienia will present “Working Effectively with RootsMagic”.
RootsMagic users may recognize Bill’s name from mail-lists and message boards, as he is always helping those with questions, especially the tricky ones. Bill is also the person who designed the “Evidence Explained” style-source templates used in RootsMagic.
He is a full-time professional genealogist, who has been involved in Ontario research for over 15 years. He specializes in 18th and 19th century records in early Ontario and in Loyalist ancestry. He also researches records in the New England and northeastern U.S. states for pre-Loyalist families.
Rick Roberts will present "Working effectively with Legacy Family Tree".
On Friday afternoon, Rick Roberts will lead a similar session, “Working Effectively with Legacy Family Tree”, a presentation that is one of his specialties.
Rick’s life-long hobby became his vocation when he co-founded Global Genealogy in 1992 with his wife Sandra, marketing books and other supplies at genealogical conventions and by mail order. In 1996 Rick launched The Global Gazette, a popular online family history magazine. One year later, he began publishing under the imprint Global Heritage Press, which now has more than 350 books in print. Global Print Services was added in 2009, providing professional printing and binding services for self-published authors.
