Appalachian Research by Dick Gault

West Virginia, Southeastern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, Southwestern Virginia,
and Northwestern North Carolina -- what do these areas have in common? The
Appalachian Mountains, an area many of our ancestors traversed to move west.
Appalachian genealogical research can be difficult compared to other
geographical areas. Dick will explain the ancestral backgrounds of the early
settlers in this region and discuss migration routes.
 
Dick Gault, a Genealogist and Historian with 27 years experience, will
discuss Appalachian research at our October meeting. Dick was raised in
Butler County, Ohio where he graduated from Edgewood High School. He is a
U.S. Army Veteran and served in the Military Police. He has three daughters
and one son, one granddaughter and one on the way, and three grandsons.
Besides having taught Adult Education classes and Seminars for Genealogy,
Dick maintained the Archives at Butler County in the 1990's. He is related
to five U.S. Presidents and six Mayflower passengers.

Using Technology To Enhance Digital Images and Make Biographies More
Interesting by Dana Palmer 

Dana will focus on two things in her presentation. First, she will discuss
how to use some of the basic features of Adobe Photoshop to enhance digital
pictures, and she will describe briefly how to convert old photographs and
slides to digital images using a scanner. Second, Dana will show how to
import these images into Microsoft Word to make stories and biographies more
interesting. 

Having been interested in family history since a young child, Dana Palmer is
an active researcher, using genealogy computer programs, since 1984. As an
avid genealogical researcher, her areas of expertise include U.S., British
Isles, Denmark, LDS records, cemetery records, technology, digital images,
and scrapbooking. Dana is Vice President of the Warren County Genealogical
Society (WCGS). She designed and created the WCGS webpage in 2002. Dana is
writing several genealogically-oriented family books and is co-author of a
cemetery book to be published in Spring 2006.
