Share Your Family Photos and Genealogy on the Internet

Presented by Don Wilson

With today's far-flung families it becomes a challenge to make sure
everyone in the family sees the latest snapshots and has access to the
family's photo archive.  Those who are compiling the family history also
need a way of sharing the information they have collected.  With the
growth of the Internet there are now many options for sharing
information and digital images.  So how do you choose a service?

On January 8 and 20, Don Wilson, head of the Ruth E. Lloyd Information
Center for Genealogy and Local History (RELIC) will present "Share Your
Family Photos and Genealogy on the Internet." He will describe and
demonstrate free and inexpensive ways to share your precious memories.

The program is scheduled for Thursday, January 8 and 11 a.m., and will
be repeated Tuesday, January 20, at 7 p.m. at Bull Run Regional Library,
8051 Ashton Avenue, Manassas, Virginia.
