Subject: [TMG] Seattle TMG Users Group, Saturday, Nov. 10, 2:30 p.m. Broadview Library
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 20:44:51 -0800


The Seattle TMG Users Group will meet Saturday, November 10, from 2:30-4:30
p.m., at the Broadview Branch of Seattle Public Library, N. 130th and
Greenwood Ave. N. These meetings are not sponsored by SPL, so please find
parking on the side streets, not in the Library's parking lot. Metro also
serves the area (Route #5, downtown Seattle/Shoreline Community College,
and Route #302, Northgate Park & Ride).

Census records will be the main topic of this month's meeting. We'll first
go around the room and invite self-described "new" users of TMG to ask
questions of the "experts", if any experts are present.<g> After the Q&A,
I will give a brief summary of issues surrounding census records as source
material, using a variety of examples as props. Then we'll (1) examine the
various default census source templates, (2) perhaps create new ones, (3)
enter a new family (parents, siblings, possible grandparents and other
relatives) using a series of census records as the sources of birth,
relationship, and other data, (4) attach (as exhibits to census events)
pictures and/or transcripts of the actual census records, (5) print (on the
screen) a report showing the census sources cited in footnotes/endnotes,
(6) etc.

Everyone interested in TMG is welcome! There will be a handout, so please
RSVP [to ] to help us prepare enough copies.
