Fabulous Family History Planning a Do-Able Genealogy Project

Genealogy Research Tips and Tricks

This virtual hybrid Genealogy class, taught by Dina Carlson editor of Iron Gate Publishing, will give you some tips and tricks to focus your Genealogy research and writing.

Most Genealogists love the hunt. They relish their time in the archives and libraries, and can't get to bed without one last look at the computer. Most of our non-genealogical relatives would rather read about what you've found with or without the trip through the dust. But how do you choose a project that will showcase your hard work, without committing to another War and Peace? Leave the epic adventure to Tolstoy, this class will give you some tips and tricks to focus your research and writing so that you can wrap up a project in time for a holiday or family gathering, and then move on to the next interesting thing to share with your family. This is a Hybrid class, you can bring your own laptop or IPad, or a Chromebook will be provided after you register.
