___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________January 2020 - Speaker: Carma Lee Ellingson – “WIKI: Ultimate Family History Research Tool”
Born in Idaho, Carma's family moved to Arizona when she was young and has lived here 65 years.
Her interest in family history began when she spent time with her grandma who shared family stories. When her mother was in her 80's she asked Carma to be her scribe and help create books for her posterity. She inherited boxes of genealogy from an uncle and her grandma. Carma felt the desire to validate the information so she would know if these people who had come alive through the stories truly were her family.
Because of the interest sparked in her youth, three years ago she volunteered to serve at the FamilySearch Library in Mesa. After extensive training she discovered that family history was rapidly changing due to the Internet and computers. She was exposed to more information than one could absorb and she was asked to learn more on her own and become a teacher, specializing in FamilySearch and the Wiki. Since then she has taught hundreds of adults and youth, helping them grow their family trees and in the process growing her own. A self-taught family history sleuth, she constantly searches for, records, and preserves family stories, facts and photos. Carma finds family history extremely interesting and somewhat addictive. She loves helping others learn and grow in their ability to be a family history sleuth also.
