We will continue through the Family Tree Maker Companion Guide chapter by chapter until we complete all chapters, then start over.

I plan to spend the first hour demonstrating and then take any questions or issues that you are having.

CLASS 1

Learn how to start family history research. You will use whatever data you have collected on your family to begin your search.   In this class you will learn how to compile information, organize your research and look for more leads for family members: where they came from and how you got to where you are today. There are 2 classes two weeks apart, and both are a must.  Learn how to source your work.   Please have on hand a three-ring binder for handouts that will be emailed to you after the session ends. The class runs from 1PM to 3PM.
