Lab and Class Descriptions
The FamilySearch Catalog: A Researcher's Best Friend
Where can you find the answer to your difficult research problem? It might be hidden in one of the billions of records held by the Family History Library, many digitized and available online. Learn about, then try your hand at various search strategies to locate records for your ancestor using the online FamilySearch Catalog.
Perspectives on Accreditation
Discover the benefits of becoming an Accredited Genealogist (AG) researcher. Learn what it takes to earn the AG credential and explore ways to prepare for accreditation.
Wild, Wild Research in the Mountain West
Whether it was the fertile farming land or the draw of the big cities, many of our ancestral families were compelled to migrate to the Midwestern United States. In this class we will take a look at key record types and strategies — methods beneficial to both nineteenth-century immigrants and families with colonial roots — used for discovering the family connections of your Midwestern ancestors.
Intermediate Irish Research: Because There’s No Such Thing as Beginning Irish Research
Tips for successful research in Ireland.
Beginning Danish Research
This class will introduce basic research of Denmark, including naming practices, record types, resources, and websites.
Methodology for Midwestern Families
Thousands of ancestral families have connections to the Midwest. They may have passed through to pioneer elsewhere, or worked to establish firm roots that have anchored their family for generations. In this class you will learn the necessary methodology and resources for conducting thorough and accurate Midwestern research.
Navigating U.S. Naturalization Records
Can’t find your ancestor’s naturalization record? This class will focus on what you need to know about the naturalization process, the records that were created, and most importantly, the best strategy to find your ancestor's naturalization records.
Locating London Ancestors: Helps for Finding Your Ancestors in a Metropolis
It is estimated that, prior to 1900, 20% of England’s population lived in London. Thousands passed through en route to Canada, America, and Australia etc. This class will look at background information, strategies and record collections to help you locate and learn more about your London ancestors. The same techniques work for other big cities in England.
