with 
Stewart Blandón Traiman
 
<DIV>
The event is will be held in the CGS classroom
 
Stewart loves spreadsheets! He uses spreadsheets at work every day as an IT Manager. He is an expert in Microsoft Excel using it in genealogy quite frequently. Laying out all the data in Excel can help researchers see gaps in knowledge or correlations between data points. Breakthroughs can easily happen by visualizing data in spreadsheets.  Stewart shows many examples of his use of spreadsheets to track newspaper clippings, a vital records catalog, tracking ancestor addresses over time, and tracking whole families over many censuses. Stewart will teach how to use Excel filter, sorting, color coding, calculations and many other functions.
This is a hands-on class. Please bring a laptop with Excel loaded. We will only cover Microsoft Excel in this class. No other spreadsheet programs will be taught during this class.
Spreadsheets are fun!

He began by interviewing parents, grandparents and other relations about his roots in Nicaragua. When he married Leland Traiman 28 years ago, he took on the new adventure researching Ukrainian and Polish Jews. Stewart has researched his children's origins back to the colonial United States.
 In January 2014, Stewart became a volunteer with CGS as the editor and publisher of the monthly electronic newsletter. He joined the Board in 2015.
Stewart just launched his own genealogy practice, <A HREF="http://sixgen.org" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Six Generations.</A>
