Genealogy for Beginners

Posted on by

“Genealogy for Beginners” is a class for people who want to try tracing their family tree, but have hesitated because they are not computer-savvy. Computer skills are not necessary to begin your family tree research.

This class will show you how to start a simple family tree using materials that you may already have at home and resources available in the community such as local historical societies and our public libraries.

You will also teach you some common beginner mistakes,  and how you can avoid making them!
