Our program for May 12th is "Collaboration and Sharing in Genealogy Research," with Michael Manning.
Please share in our May meeting by telling one of your collaboration success stories during our program, and also by joining in group discussion. We will set aside 5 to 10 minutes per story. Please include your thoughts on why your collaboration was successful and what did you and your collaborator gain from sharing. If you would like to speak accompanied by a graphic, please send slide materials to michaeljmanning@msn.com.
Michael Manning will share some of his own collaboration success stories, his thoughts on how collaboration is evolving as our technologies evolve, problems in one-to-one and /or universal tree sharing, and will use (with permission) several tips for collaboration success borrowed from the recent RootsTech talk by Tana Pedersen of Family Tree Maker.
As Michael prepared this talk, he already knew collaboration was both helpful in his research and very fun to share with others engaged in genealogy. He also found it very humbling to appreciate how much he has learned from others, including the realization that different people respond differently to prompts in the sharing process.
