GENCOM,
the Computer Genealogy Group,
is at home in the parishes of Caddo and
Bossier
in beautiful North Louisiana!
2010
is the18th year since our organization in July 1991. We are
a group of Genealogy/ History/Computer buffs who recognized
quite early that the Internet was “The Way of the Future for
Genealogy!” At
a time when many of the country’s most respected genealogists
were wary of this new method of record keeping, we were one
of the first groups that organized as a Computer Genealogy Society.
We feel fortunate to have been aboard during that exciting period,
watching, and taking advantage of the astronomical development
in Genealogical Programs, and all that the Internet now offers
researchers!
Fortunately
our membership is composed of a mixture of computer experts and fine
genealogists, so we have been able to balance our programs with the
exploration of both topics. GENCOM was organized with the aim of providing
a forum for discussion and mutual assistance in the relatively new
area of Computer Genealogy. Our purpose is to create, foster and maintain
interest in the responsible use of technology in Genealogical Research!
GENCOM
takes full advantage of the vast array of new information that is
being made available to us on the Internet. Many vital records are
being digitized and published. The data you need to prove your ancestry
is probably awaiting your search! We invite you to join us at GENCOM
and share in this exciting new adventure in Genealogy. We meet at
Hamilton South Caddo Library the last Sunday in every month except
August and December.
