The library is open to the general public on Thursdays from 10-4. (They will be moving in October to a Kearny Mesa location). I was able to help with using the SDGS online library catalog, general research websites, Shelly D.'s Internet site for Jewish Genealogy and give tours and help people use the library by giving orientation tours and finding books they needed.<br />Also, as the Chair of the Lost Treasures committee I mentored temporary volunteers in the process of research and finding living descendants to place items. Bonnie Fago at the SDGS is now continuing this work and mentoring volunteers. She is always looking for SDGS members who want to mentor for Lost Treasures research.gsgenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867730827629915956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-16769997194889959302009-08-28T21:58:57.396-07:002009-08-28T21:58:57.396-07:00Great idea, Randy.

I've shown a number of friends/acquaintances and assorted friends of friends - the basics of how-to search on the web, evaluate searches, and most importantly, save a copy of any documents found (right click, then... etc., email to self), no matter which computer used. Every branch of our area library has computers, which helps immensely. <br />Thanks for your suggestion of individuals "passing it forward"!

To think of it, the genealogy section isn't found smack in the middle of the library or off to the side of the room. Ours is upstairs and conpletely on the far end of the room.<br />debbiedebbiehttp://familytree4sargent.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
