We review how to create a research plan and log results as we explore ancestors across the pond (in England, Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland). We will use FindMyPast, Irishgenealogy.ie, ScotlandsPeople, and many other local sources as well as lightly using Ancestry (world access) and FamilySearch. We will find birth, marriage, death, and burial records, passenger lists and passports, address or location searches (using census records, directories, and historic maps), and military records. We’ll also review basic paleography techniques (reading wills and land records) and find ancestors’ interests and occupations using guild records and newspapers. Limit 24. 6 classes.
