Explore your ancestry in this 6-day, hands-on, intensive course guided by expert instructor, Lisa Alzo.
DATE: February 13, 2023 - February 21, 2023
Course Design
Each day's lesson will provide you with a packet of learning materials and the day's search objective. This course is designed to be hands-on and intensive, so be prepared to devote some time each day to the lessons. However, if you can't make a day's lesson, that's okay - they'll all be there to download and catch up on at the end. The discussion boards will close at the end of the week, but you'll have access to download the materials or read them in read-only mode for a year after.
You can approach this in one of 2 ways:
- Option 1: Choose 6 different ancestors, depending on the type of record you're searching for.
- Option 2: Attempt to gather evidence for each of the fact types for one ancestor.
Workshop Outline
- Day 1: Find an ancestor’s birth and/or death dates
- Day 2: Document where an ancestor lived over time
- Day 3: Find an ancestor’s immigration records
- Day 4: Research an ancestor’s occupation or military service
- Day 5: Discover your newsworthy ancestor
- Day 6: Find an ancestor’s tax records
- Day 7: Put it all together
