Sometimes, it is good to browse through a book for search tips when you’re doing your genealogy.  Have you tried LibraryThing?  It’s a great way to organize what books you have – and use – and to see what others are using.  Join us this Thursday to get a look at LibraryThing, presented by Sharon Christenson – President of the Middlesex Chapter of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists (MSOG.)  Bring your notebooks and genealogy questions – we’ll have time for group discussion.
