Arizona Vital Records
I was asked how I found death certificated for just one town in Arizona. In this video I show you how to use "FamilySearch" https://www.familysearch.org/ , and "Arizona Genealogy Birth and Death Certificate" http://genealogy.az.gov/ websites to research one town. Even though I only used Arizona in video it might help you search other places.

Google News Genealogy Style
In this video I show you how to search Google News Archives & how to filter out the pay per view hits. Some of the papers are kind of spotty on the issues they have, but you can’t complain about the price ;-)Maybe not as good as subscription sites, but on the other hand I have found information not on them.Direct link to Advance Archive Search:http://news.google.com/archivesearch/advanced_search?ned=us&hl=enJust remember to change the “Price” to “No Price” for the free papers.

Screen Capture Utility
In this video I show you how to use a free portable screen capture utility & your “Prt Sc” key on your keyboard. I have found this very useful if you need to print or save what is showing on your monitor. I have found some websites that don’t allow printing or saving, with this method I have been able to work around this. I have also used this method when I need screen shots for presentations.The disadvantage is if you can’t read it on your monitor, you won’t be able to read it when you print ...

GIMP Basics
PART 1 Introduction to GIMP http://www.gimp.org/, where to get it & what it looks like. PART 2 (2:31) Picture File Format In this video I show how to open files & size differences between TIF & JPG.

Tools: * Open * Magnifing Glass * Shorcut keys "+" "-" to zoom in & out PART 3 (6:...

In this video I go into the use of using a digital camera to photograph images from Microfilm & Microfiche Readers. The pros & cons of a digital camera with a tripod, camera mount, and holding the camera. I also go into editing the digital images with Picasa & GIMP, free imaging software.The advantages of these techniques are cost, time, and quality. Not as good as a real microfilm scanner, but scanners are not available everywhere.Looks like the DCM-1 Microfilm Camera Mount that I show in thi...
