Phone Training

Want to hire FamilyHistoryGeek to sit next to you and help you move forward doing genealogy online?  We can help you with that.

FamilyHistoryGeek is the online nickname of Gary Harris, owner of Personal Touch Technical Services. One of the services we offer is phone training. The Geek can connect to your computer, and you will see your mouse move and typing happen on your very own computer as he teaches you over the phone.

If you need to learn something I am not yet ready to teach, I will find you a resource. As visitors let me know other things they want to learn, I’ll be adding to this list of lessons on subjects relating to doing genealogy online.


You will need GoToMyPC , which has a free trial. This software will allow me to log onto your computer while we talk on the phone. It will be like I'm sitting right next to you! And don't worry about security. GoToMyPC is so secure it requires 4 pieces of information to log on.  The ONLY way I can access your computer is if you send me an invitation which will not convey to me your login information. Give it a try tody. 		GoToMyPC - Free Trial!
