Audry Rini of Double Entry Bookkeeping, LLC. Presented a "How-To" on Genealogy


Aficionado, sleuthhound., detective -terms that definitely describe VIC member Audry Rini, who gave a "how-to" presentation for Vermont Italian Club on tracing one's family roots. Motivated by the family stories her father always told, Audry has been successfully chasing her family names down rabbit holes for a good 35 years, long before the internet made it relatively easy and far more expansive.
 
The success of her adventures was made evident by a book she compiled on her family history -a book that definitely inspired the small group who came to learn from her experience at the Miller Center in May.
 
Research really does give evidence that a genealogist's study of his ancestral roots actually boosts his performance on intelligence tests! So get smart and follow Audry's recommendations for going on-line and beginning your own research: ancestry.com, Familysearch.org, rootsweb.com, italiangen.org, and cyndislist.com.
