Family History Researchers

Family History Researchers is a group of people meeting to share family tales while trying to prove or disprove our stories. Sometimes, the unearthing of additional information adds to our mysteries. We are serious researchers who have become close friends and created our own research group. Family History Researchers started as a fresh concept in teaching within our group. We work together to achieve our goals, share ideas, and have lots of fun learning how to research. We embody excitement and education as we bring the history of yesterday into the lives of today! Check out the Calender of Events and then come join us if you want to learn how to find out about all those leaves on your family tree!

Visitors are always welcome at any of our meetings at South Mainland Library, Barefoot Bay FL; LDS Church,Vero Beach FL; Morningside Library,Port St. Lucie FL and Blake Library, Stuart FL. Should you wish to join our group, annual membership is $10.00. A materials fee of about $3.50 is requested at each meeting to cover only the cost of handouts. Please contact Patti Kirk at ckirkfirst@comcast.net or 772-567-7463 for further information or to make a reservation to attend so we have plenty of handouts for all.

Hi- I am Katherine Santos from the PSL group. I am not a "web master" just a member like you. So what can YOU do to help Patti and FHR?

What is the difference between “http” and “https”?

The main difference between http:// and https:// is all about your security. HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". When you visit a website or web page look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.

This website is talking to your browser using the regular “unsecured language” and it is possible for someone to “eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone could see the information you send to that site.

This is why you should never enter your credit card number in an http website! But if the web address begins with https://, your computer is talking to the website in a secure code where no one can eavesdrop. You understand why this is so important, right?

If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card or personal information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, you should NEVER enter sensitive information, personal or financial!
