Focus Groups / Users Groups

A focus group isn’t a class – you are expected to bring and share information also. Join a group or groups – learn with and teach other TCGS members with similar interests! Below are the descriptions of the current Focus Groups with contact information:

Here's the place to find others with an interest in RootsMagic. You can receive help, ideas and more from toher RootsMagic users in your area.

Do you have ancestors from Germany that you need to research? Are you stuck and need ideas to get going again? Come join our group as we help each other progress in German research. We are working on learning to read German documents – both typed and handwritten. Thanks to Barbara McIntyre we have an excellent set of lessons to follow. It is a graded set of handwritten documents to study.

The next meeting is TBD. If you have something you'd like to present contact Janis.
