experts, and a Tutorial on Documenting Genealogy Research Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American Born Chinese (ABCs) seniors have been doing the research, but, as this generation is becoming older, there is a realistic need&nbsp;to document this research as part of their family history for their family &amp; descendants.&nbsp;&nbsp;The tutorial,&nbsp;\u201cDocumenting Your Family History Made Easy\u201d, covers the development of generic templates where specific content modules can be inserted and shared across Word and PowerPoint software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of things you will learn at the roundtables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finding your ancestral village<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brief Chinese to English translations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OCR processing &amp; conversion of PDF versions of your Chinese genealogy books into searchable PDF documents by computer&nbsp;\u2013 which is a tremendous aid in searching the massive genealogy lineages and finding &amp; tracing \/ linking consecutive generations of your ancestors, Dr. Mel Thatcher &amp; Henry Tom will be available to assist in converting your PDFs of your genealogy books into searchable PDFs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another valuable aspect of this&nbsp;OCR processing is allowing you to highlight narrative texts about your individual ancestors found in your genealogy book, and to cut &amp; paste these Chinese annotations &amp; narratives into any of a number of online Chinese to English translators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Session speakers and topics will be updated as we get closer to the conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to enjoy the Chinese New Year celebrations in Las Vegas &#8211; consider coming 1 or 2 days before the workshop, just do so by selecting the arrival &amp; departure dates when you book your room.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4-day hotel workshop package by itself is $331 and is separate from the workshop registration fee of $375<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold Coast Casio, Las Vegas, NV February 2 (Sunday check-in) to February 8 (Thursday Checkout), 2024 Conference Dates: February 5 through February 7, 2024 Conference flyer, registration form and local restaurants https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/8kqq67lv4ffe971\/AABPFQHrFqmaDui7tOVjmt3sa?dl=0 For more information: henry.tom@cox.net This is a 3-day workshop, with presentations in the morning, and Round-Table discussions between attendees &amp;
