Developing familiarity with ancestry.com and 'Find Penguins'

Family History projects are featuring at all of our sessions at the moment.  It is so good to watch as people develop familiarity with ancestry.com  and begin to move around it with greater ease.  It’s not too long before people some people feel confident in working on their project at home while others like to come to our sessions to spend focused time on their project. 

Over recent months we have been following our travellers through the ‘Find Penguins’ travel blogs they have developed on the internet.   ‘Find Penguins’ is a versatile app which can be used on laptops, tablets and smartphones when travelling.  It is quite intuitive to learn for people with good internet skills.   ‘Tech Savvy Projects’ provides an opportunity to get support in setting up a ‘Find Penguins’ travel blog before you head off if you aren’t particularly confident.   On returning home, there is the option of creating a beautiful photobook based on the Find Penguins travel blog to keep as a permanent record.  While many photobook apps and programs are available, members with intermediate to advanced computer skills are finding Find Penguins a worthwhile option.
