SDGS Program Meeting on Saturday, 11 June features Franklin Chocco

...
The June program meeting of the San Diego Genealogical Society is Saturday, 11 June at 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.., at St. Andrews Lutheran Church (8350 Lake Murray Blvd, near Jackson Drive in San Diego). 

The two program segments feature Franklin Chocco speaking on:

10 a.m.:  "12 Tips to Find an Elusive Ancestor"

11:20 a.m.:  "Organizing Your Family History: Three Methodologies"

There will be society announcements and a refreshment break between the two presentations.

The program description:

Typically, family historians are a solo act - it's rare when siblings, parents, children or spouses have the same degree of interest in climbing the family tree as we do.  We are left to our own resources, becoming self-reliant as we wander trails into the unknown on the quest to find traces of distant relatives.  Every now and then the trail goes cold.

Ever wonder why you may be hitting brick walls when searching for an ancestor?  Franklin's first presentation will demonstrate twelve overlooked methods on how to find that elusive ancestor.

An equal challenge, and sometimes the bane of us all, is keeping the clues we've discovered organized.  Franklin's second presentation demonstrates three methodologies for staying organized and how to turn personal computers into a twenty-four/seven research assistants.  Once implemented, researchers receive notification by email when information is found on the Internet regarding their ancestors.  The information is updated in real time.
