Interested in getting started or expanding your personal family history research? This course is for you! We will cover the role of DNA in genealogical research, searching for records and learning what new information you might find on them, building your own pedigree chart, keeping research records, and more. Also discussed will be the options available when information is scarce. Questions will be taken at the beginning and throughout the class to allow the instructor to provide answers to individual participants. The instructor will provide worksheets and a guide to students.
