At the January Lunch and Learn presentation Saturday, January 13, 2007,
Dennis McCargar will give a talk on the use of genealogical numbering
systems.

If you're new to genealogy, this presentation will help get you off on the
right foot. For those who have been working for some time, start the new
year off by getting yourself organized. January's Lunch and Learn
presentation will explain and demonstrate the various numbering systems in
general use, such as Ahnentafel, Register, Record, Henry, Modified Henry,
D'Aboville, deVilliers, and variations, several systems available online for
a fee, as well as the one system seldom talked about, Alpha Numbering. Each
of these has advantages and disadvantages, and each works better in some
applications than others. Handouts will be distributed.

Dennis was born in Nebraska and graduated from high school in Colorado. He
was a music major in college before enlisting in the Navy. He has earned two
MA degrees, one in history and one in library science. He has taught
history, music, Spanish, genealogy, and economics. He has been interested in
genealogy since he was nineteen. Dennis has been an archivist, a miner,
truck driver, Port of Entry officer, and driver instructor, among other
occupations. He was employed by the California Department of Corrections for
eleven years and is now the reference librarian at the L. A. County Library
in Baldwin Park. Dennis is a member of SCGS and was recently elected to
serve on the SCGS Board of Directors.

Bring a brownbag lunch and join us for an informal session at noon, followed
