Re: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - The Great War: Researching Your World War I Ancestors by Michael L. Strauss, AG

Geoff:
Myself and others within the local geneology society are looking at
starting a local Legacy users group (with regular periodic  (monthly?)
meetings, and are wondering what help may be available in this effort.
Certainty program info or ready made presentations would be of use, but of
greatest use and help currently would be of any legal or other restrictions
as related to your company and program content, group promotion, or
otherwise... example: a possible Facebook page? (for promotion, program and
meeting info, ect.) use of any logo or other recognized symbol of your
program or otherwise... (in association with meeting promotion) Our primary
purpose being to better learn collectively thru presentation and group
interaction how to better use the program, along with helping new users
learn the basics. Geographically we are located in North Georgia... Cobb
county (home of the new Braves stadium)... Marrietta/Kennesaw area
specifically, but as we know of no other users group in Georgia, we hope to
draw from other nearby geographic areas as well for membership for those
looking for help with program use and ideas. (Atlanta and north Georgia)
contact for myself is  psol...@gmail.com
