ROVING REPORTERS
Gary Hoffman discusses The Use and Abuses of Online Genealogy. The computer's
ease at handling large amounts of information makes it a logical tool (double-meaning
intended) for use in compiling and publishing genealogical data. User-friendly
programs and the availability of CD-ROMs full of data make it seem easy to just
find and download our family data into our personal computer. But like the mirage
on the horizon, easy genealogy is forever just beyond our reach. Also a list
of do's and don'ts regarding uploading and downloading genealogy from the Internet
and CD-ROM repositories.

always looking for new ways to use old photographs. Carol Stolte has discovered
that there are many things you can do with old photographs transferred to cloth.
The process is simple and the photographs are not damaged.

ROVING REPORTER
Researchers who study local histories are familiar with gazetteers (a geographical
dictionary) which detail physical features of an area such as townships, cities,
villages, parishes, etc. Marthe Arends reviews a CD ROM that contains several
volumes of English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Gazetters that go beyond the standard
basics and details such things as local history, governmental institutions, local
families, agricultural details, and much more.

terrific tools that enable you to view microfiche and microfilm on your computer
