Introduction to Online Genealogy 

There has never been a better time to start discovering your family's history. Gone are the days of only traveling to courthouse basements and archives. You can now research easily from your own home. Join me as I teach you how to get started, reviews of subscription websites, which tools to use, which types of records you'll find, plus how to be an effective and accurate researcher.

Level Up Your Genealogy 1 - Intermediate Class
