SUMMARY:WMGS Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website for which he has received both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Outstanding Contribution Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies\, the Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society\, the first-ever Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists\, and two awards that he cannot pronounce from Polish genealogical societies.\nIn his other life\, Steve is a computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical\nengineering. He has held various research\, development\, and teaching positions\,\nauthored numerous technical papers\, written four textbooks\, and holds four patents.\nHe is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today’s Pentium processor)\, which sparked the PC revolution nearly 40 years ago.\nThe One-Step Website started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis Island database. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to help with searching in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve\, and today it includes about 300 web-based tools divided into 16 separate categories ranging from genealogical searches to astronomical calculations to last-minute bidding on eBay. Steve’s presentation will describe the range of tools available and give the highlights of each one.\nWhether you’re looking for passenger lists\, census records\, information on Soundex or phonetic matching to find elusive ancestors\, searching for living relatives\, or even converting script written in several other languages to English\, Steve’s One-Step Webpage is the place to find tools to help you.\nSteve will be presenting\, “One-Step Website: A Potpourri of Genealogical Search Tools\,” live on Wednesday\, Sept. 2nd at our 6 PM meeting.\n*Note: This lecture will be live and will not be recorded. If you miss this presentation\, the handout will be available in the Members Only section of our website.
