Getting Started in Genealogy

Here are a couple of presentations that I did for the Tennessee Genealogical Society recently. I'll be giving a shortened version next month too. These are for the person looking to get started in genealogy, who wants help in deciding what kind of hardware and software to buy, and for Memphis folks it gives specific information on the location of local Shelby county records. I refer quite heavily to a great book, "THE SOURCE", the third edition, edited by Loretto Dennis Szucs & Sandra Hargreaves Luebking (available at most libraries and here for purchase: http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=4087199060755&pid=1593312776 )

These presentations were PowerPoint presentations, but I've converted them to PDF format, and included the "notes" along with the slides.
