“Reconstruct Your Ancestor’s World with Google”
Presented by: Lisa Louise Cooke
Learn how to make a family history video with Google for the holidays! A wide variety of rich resources are available for free through Google. But it’s not just Google search that can lead you to genealogy gems. Google’s empire includes a great collection of free online tools that are all powered by the same Google search engine, and many are brimming with historical information. In this case study session, we will flesh out the story of a family tree by using a variety of Google tools, and bring it all together in a compelling video that can be shared with your family.
