The topic for discussion this month is the library’s new catalog, WISE that launches November 11, and how genealogists can most successfully use it.

We meet at 10:30 a.m. on the 3rd Saturday morning of the month in the Discovery Center at the Allen County Public Library, Genealogy Center, 900 Library Plaza, Fort Wayne, IN. The library has a web page describing the new WISE website here.

Please begin brainstorming about the December technology topic.
