6 Ancestors in 6 Days - November 2024

November 11, 2024 - November 17, 2024

This hands-on workshop was designed to run for six days. A new lesson will begin each day, containing a packet of learning materials and a search objective. Please be prepared to devote time each day to the lessons. At the end of the week, there will be time to ask questions and put all of your research together.

What if you miss a lesson? Good question! You can download lesson material the following day and catch up at the end of the week. You'll also have access to discussion boards for the entire week of the workshop.

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.
