Subject: [TMG] Seattle TMG Users Group to meet Saturday, Dec. 8
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 20:54:19 -0800


The Seattle TMG Users Group will meet Saturday, Dec. 8, 2:00-4:30 p.m. (see
Note below), at Broadview Library, 130th & Greenwood Ave. N. If driving,
please park on the surrounding streets, as Seattle Public Library
neighborhood branches reserve their parking lots for Library patrons.
Metro Route #5 travels north and south along Greenwood Ave. From Northgate
Transit Center, Route #302 travels west along 130th, then north on
Greenwood. From Aurora Village Transit Center, Route #302 travels south on
Greenwood, then east on 130th. All bus stops at that intersection are less
than a block from the Library entrance.

The main topic this month will be using various TMG tools to help us
prepare for the release of the 1930 Census in April 2002. We'll first
design a report (using the CRW) to help identify people already in a
dataset who would likely be enumerated in the 1930 census. For people
newly added to a dataset, TMG tools for designating those likely to appear
in the 1930 Census will be demonstrated.

A major finding aid for people enumerated in the 1930 Census will be city
and county directories, since Soundex microfilm will not be available for a
majority of states. During the last hour, we'll discuss setting up city
and county directories as sources, then demonstrate various ways of
entering directory information into TMG. And lastly, we'll discuss the
design of reports (again using the CRW) you might want to run before you
head to the Archives.

Note: The first 30 minutes [2:00-2:30] will be spent (briefly) setting up
the meeting room (chairs and tables). It will also be a time for those
relatively new to TMG to ask questions and get answers on TMG basics. At
2:30, when everyone has arrived, we'll go around the room for introductions
and another TMG Q&A opportunity, before launching into the main topic.

To help us prepare enough handouts, please RSVP to if
you plan on joining us Dec. 8. Thanks!
