Beginning Genealogy Genealogy 110 Offered by Mother Hubbard's Cupboard Students must be admitted in order to participate
"Immigrants Arriving at Ellis Island"
Course Description
Genealogy
can be baffling to beginners who have no idea on where to start. This
course is designed as a special interest course and will take the
beginning genealogist through the steps from 'the bushel basket system'
all the way to being able to computerize his genealogy and organize it
for posterity. We will discuss family records, local, state and federal
records, church records, census records, land and probates, school
records, immigration and naturalization records and miscellaneous
records that are hard to find. We will utilize online resources as much
as possible and will 'hopefully' put together a four generation
pedigree charts with accompanying group sheets by the conclusion of
class. Be prepared! You may find more than you expect!
Instructor: Diana Muir, Ph.D. Education, Professional Genealogist.
