**Tech Tuesday** Census records give genealogists information, both direct and indirect. With so much data it is possible to miss key clues from them. Spreadsheets make analyzing census records easier and reduce the possibility of missing indirect information. This presentation will introduce you to spreadsheets, with tips on entering information and suggestions on how to manipulate the data to reveal actual and implied information. Case studies will be used to show how spreadsheets make analyzing census records easier.
Our speaker, Tara Shymanski, has a passion for genealogy. She caught the genealogy bug at 17 after listening to family stories and hasn’t stopped since. That passion led her to earn a BA in History and a Certificate in Canadian Records from the International Institute for Genealogical Studies. She’s a specialist in Ontario, Quebec, and Canadian research, with solid experience in American and English records too. Tara is known for her enthusiasm, her love of teaching, and her knack for digging up those obscure sources that others might miss. Her husband Rob says she might be a little obsessed with genealogy—but she still makes time to go hiking and camping with him in the mountains.
