Genealogy for Beginners
This two-part class is an introduction to genealogy and the process involved in finding more about your family history. You will learn how to find family facts and organize them into a tree. Additional topics, using mostly free sites on the internet, include researching the United States Census, vital, military, land, and immigration and naturalization records. A brief introduction to finding records outside the USA and how DNA is used in genealogy will be included. Instructor Eileen Burton has had genealogy as a serious hobby for over 20 years and traveled to Germany to visit an ancestral town.
