This course is full of 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 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’ll also discuss how to scan and edit photos and screen capture and edit images. Using Google Drive (and other Cloud-based repositories), research on social media (Facebook) and other research sites (Library of Congress, state resources, etc.), you will be able to build a family story (and cite your sources). Handouts are provided. Laptops can be used if desired, but are not required. Limit 24. 6 Classes.
