Family Tree Maker at Heywood Library

Heywood Library's Family History Group enjoyed a very interesting and informative introduction to using Family Tree Maker by Florence Sedman at their first meeting of the year on 4 January.

Florence brought in her very impressive scroll - which was way too long for our tables! She also used her laptop to show the group how to create a very professional tree including photographs and annotations.

Heywood Library Family History Group meetings are on the first Monday of each month. The next meeting is on Monday 1 Feb at 2.30pm.
