The presentation will be targeted to non-technical users, and will focus on the most popular genealogy programs for Windows, Macintosh, and the web.

Each product will have a brief introduction and overview of its key features, comparision of its relative strengths and weaknesses.

If people want to submit questions in writing in advance, Steve will try to have answers ready. February 1 is the deadline for emailing questions to programs@jgsmi.org.

Steven Klein was a computer hobbyist in his teenage years, and parlayed his knowledge into a 25 year career in the IT field, having worked in as a Help Desk support specialist, an educational IT Specialist, a Network Engineer, and most recently as an IT Manager. He’s interrupted his professional career to pursue a BSIT degree at Lawrence Tech, and expects to graduate this summer.

His interest in genealogy was sparked last year when one of his cousins invited him and several family members to the myheritage.com website to build out the family tree of their maternal grandparents. Over the year they’ve added antecedents, siblings, descendants and spouses, and now they have 216 people listed.
