Family History   

Are you one of the more than 33 million Americans who have Irish or Scots-Irish ancestors? This class will cover how to get started, websites for Irish and Scots-Irish genealogy and a Case Study demonstrating how the instructor used six of those websites to find two generations of Irish ancestors (and exactly where they lived in Ireland) after starting with only the names of two immigrants to America. Includes 10-page handout.

Timelines are a great tool for analysis and breaking through a brick wall. Learn how and why creating a timeline of an ancestor’s life can help you: 1) decide if a record you found is about your ancestor and not someone else with the same name; 2) differentiate between two people with the same name; 3) identify gaps that need more research, and more. Many examples will be shown.
