We are
The ROOTS Users Group (RUG), a non-profit, incorporated in February
1989 and, are celebrating our 37th year of continuous service to our members!
While we offer webinars and other materials to support the officially retired
The
Master Genealogist software, we continually review other genealogy
programs looking toward future migration from TMG. Our online webinars are
typically held the second Saturday of the month but we occasionally will skip a
month for holidays.

Recorded Webinar: "Navigating the Seven C's of Genealogy" Do genealogy “resolutions” really work? How about setting genealogy “goals” or “themes” instead? Here is a developed a list of seven “themes” to guide you this year and hopefully you can institute these as general “rules to do genealogy by” over the next few years. The themes cover most areas of concern for every family historian, whether you’ve been at this for some time or you are just getting started. Participants will learn how to focus on seven key areas in genealogy research: Clean, Collect, Curate, Create, Connect, Conserve and Continue. Following the webinar there will be an opportunity for attendees to share comments. (Played from the RUG's MEMBER-ONLY WEBINARS webpage.) |

Please watch this
video on YouTube RUG plans to inform members in three different ways of the link members need to access each meeting. First, an email with the ZOOM link will be sent the night before the scheduled meeting by the webmaster. The link also will be posted on the front page of the RUG website on the morning of the meeting. This same Zoom link will be posted for attendees on the TMG List. Please take time now to create an account with ZOOM — if you have not already. We would appreciate you creating a profile that states your first name or initial and last name, whether or not you are a RUG member, and your location. For example: Connie Jeremiah, RUG M, VA. If you wish, include a photo in your account profile. When you are in the meeting, you can change it by clicking on the '...' on your picture or clicking on '...' after your name in the Participants list, and then clicking on "Rename". ZOOM has different functions that we will be using for the meeting, including the chat box for you to communicate with RUG and other attendees, the Raise and Lower Hand function, and the ability to voice your questions and comments live. |
