Do you have a desire to research your family history, but don't know where to start? This class is for you! Together we will start your search, use a database for organization of family information, organize your paper trail, and explore websites that will help make searching easier. You'll become an expert in finding and researching sources while learning tips and tricks to help you ward off brick walls. This class covers the basics and can be supplemented with a more detailed research class. This class includes a private two hour tutor session outside of scheduled class time.
