Discover New Ancestral Information by Connecting Through Social Media - Dallas Genealogical Society

Join the Dallas Genealogical Society for a special, free presentation, ‘Discover New Ancestral Information by Connecting Through Social Media‘,  by the Dallas Genealogical Society's Director of Volunteer Coordination Patti Huff Smith.

Social networking tools are a great means for finding additional information about your ancestors and connecting with those researching your family.  It allows you to discover living relatives, connect with unknown family members and stay in touch with ones we know. This program will focus on how to create a Facebook page with a genealogical focus with emphasis on how to keep it interesting and engaging.

This FREE presentation is made possible by the Dallas Genealogical Society. Join the Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month to learn new ways to find your family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m., followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m and the featured speaker at 11:30 a.m.

About the Speaker

Patti Huff Smith’s passion for her family history began when her then 15-year-old son developed an enthusiasm for the Civil War. The two of them began searching for documentation of their Civil War Veterans. This ignited a passion for genealogy research which has grown with each new, fascinating discovery.

With the assistance of her 93-year-old grandmother and the genealogy community, Patti has learned research techniques, attended genealogy conferences, and workshops to expand her understanding of genealogy and DNA. At this time, Patti is managing 52 of her family DNA kits. She has applied her knowledge to equip others in their own journey.
