In this class, we will learn tips and techniques for U.S.-based genealogy research. We will cover how to create a research plan, to build a tree using Ancestry (plus Newspapers.com, FindAGrave, Fold3) and how to use FamilySearch, Wikitree, and ChatGPT. We will find birth, marriage, death, and burial records, passenger lists and passports, censuses, directories, and historic and current maps, legal records (wills, and probates) and/or military records, and more. We will discuss how to scan and edit photos and screen capture and edit images. We will use Google Drive (and other Cloud-based repositories), research on social media (Facebook) and use other research sites (Library of Congress, state resources, etc.) to help you build a family story (and cite your sources). This class is six weeks, limited to 21 people, and includes instruction and handouts. Laptops can be used if desired, but not required.
