USING THE INTERNET TO HELP

RESEARCH YOUR ANCESTORS

by

Aric Brown

 

Aric Brown, a member of the Amarillo Genealogical Society, has using the internet since 1990. That is also the year he began researching his family history. Aric said, "My mother said I have always been a collector of things. . . and I just moved into collecting ancestors."

 

Aric has two children, a twelve-year-old girl and a ten-year-old boy. He is currently attending Amarillo College working toward a degree in Forensic Science.

 

"When I first started researching my family history there was no information online," Aric said, "and since I am a computer person, I always wished that I could do research online. In the past five or so years, the Internet has become a wonderful place to use to help find your ancestors. But just like the Microfilm reader, the Internet is only a tool."

 

Everyone is encouraged to attend and bring guests to this meeting. Since Aric Brown is a genealogist, in addition to being a computer guru, his program will be even more useful to our group than the ones given by Eric Spellmann several years ago.
