This will be a 5-week course – (1/29 – 2/26)
Beginning at the novice level of doing genealogy, this course will show how to find and document your ancestors. It will conclude week 5 with a discussion of DNA and genetic genealogy. Alan will present several good genealogy sites, starting with FamilySearch, which is free, and then review other platforms. Recommendations will be given based on your own genealogy. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
If you wish to take a test for the DNA discussion, Ancestry or MyHeritage are good choices. They cost around $39 to $49 on sale. It may take about 8 weeks to get results, so do so accordingly before the class starts.
