Exploring your family history online can be confusing at times.  This class, led by an experienced genealogist, will help you avoid mistakes in your research.

Every family has a story—and every story is a thread in the fabric of America’s journey. Whether your ancestors arrived generations ago or just a century ago, uncovering their lives can be a powerful act of discovery. But tracing your family history online comes with both exciting opportunities and easy-to-make mistakes.  This class will help you learn how to navigate genealogy resources with care and confidence.
