Improving your Timeline


An age-old technique to use for 21st-Century research—how a timeline can help you with your family

history. “Introducing the Timeline Grid,” is a free, educational program presented by the

Cheyenne Genealogical & Historical Society on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, in the Cottonwood Room of the

Laramie County Library in Cheyenne. The gathering begins at 6:15 p.m.

with a short business meeting followed by the program at 7:00 p.m.


 The program will be presented by Melanie Bosselman, former Director of the Cheyenne FamilySearch Center,

who has had a genealogy passion for more than 40 years with a specialty of using technology in the quest

of family history. She will demonstrate and explain the Timeline Grid, which is a research tool that makes it easy

to track your research results and easily identify missing information. It also allows a person to view

their research findings in a compact and readable format so it can be used to guide further

research and what next steps to take. Registration is not necessary for this program, which is open to the public
