On Tuesday, May 7, 2013 the Oakland County Genealogical Society is pleased to present a program titled “Creating Your Family History with Microsoft’s Publisher together with Ten Simple Steps for Sharing it” by Gloria Saluk. Collecting your “Dead Relatives” is only the first step in being a good genealogist. After you save it, you have to share it. Gloria Saluk demonstrates the basics of using Microsoft’s Publisher program to create family histories you can share with your relatives. Included are her ten steps for putting it all together – and how to have fun doing it. Please join us for this interesting and informative presentation.
OCGS meets at the Troy Community Center, 3179 Livernois Road, Troy, MI 48083. Because of the special mayoral election that evening, our meeting is being switched to room 402. The TCC is located just north of Big Beaver Road on the west side of Livernois. The meeting will start at 7:00 PM and the public is invited. There is no charge. The Troy Community Center has a flat entrance and ample lighted parking.
