However, Google has evolved since it was created in 1999 and the tips and tricks have changed and evolved also. During this presentation, Kelley will discuss tips and strategies to search for relatives using Google. • Apply quotation marks • Use the minus sign • Get site specific results • Search only title pages • Search a date range • Search for Terms Near Each Other For more information, contact Chris Smith, Manager of Adult Programming, at 504-889-8143 or wcsmith@jplibrary.net.
