Thomas MacEntee, a “tech guy” with a love of history and genealogy, was laid off during the 2008 recession after a 25-year career in the information technology field. 

So, Thomas used his information technology experience to become an internationally known tech-savvy genealogy professional blogger, educator, and author.

You can learn more about Thomas and his genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy at GenealogyBargains.com where he shares many of his articles and videos for free.

Thomas will share with participants the procedures and quirks of the U. S. Census, teach us how to tell who the “informant” was in the 1930 or 1940 US Censuses, access the instructions given to enumerators for each census year, and give us tips and tricks for deciphering the data and what all the different “codes” mean. He will also share ways to access the census data beyond Ancestry and Family Search.

Thomas rates this presentation as: Beginner Level and will share a four-page downloadable outline for registered participants.
