I am a retired online school teacher. I love family history. From 2007-2020, I spent much of my time providing part-time support for the world's largest free family history site https://familysearch.org This is very rewarding. I have helped others with the Family Tree and related FamilySearch products.
In 2010-2018 I served in the Edmonton_Alberta_Riverbend_Family_History_Centre..I have a FHC blog at Bill's Family History Center Blog Since 2020 I have been a family history consultant for Edmonton Alberta North Stake.

Presentation on Personal Ancestral File

A week ago it was suggested that FamilySearch Product Support should have a lesson on PAF. I volunteered, and yesterday I had a phone call asking whether I would be prepared to teach the lesson the next morning. I accepted, provided we could get the teleconferencing working on my computer. We then proceeded to set it up on my desktop computer. It was a total failure regardless what we did! In desperation, I switched to my laptop. In about 5 minutes we had everything working. Whew!

I arranged that I would sign in a few minutes early the next day in case there were any last-minute glitches. This morning the technology worked perfectly on the laptop. (A further testimonial of the power of prayer!)For my lesson I did a live demonstration based on the PAF Overview document on my website, and answered questions. It was well received.
