Enjoy sharing your school with others. Great conversation starter to help preserve family history for all! Soft fabric, many sizes.
I have been doing genealogy for 50 years, so the course was a bit basic for me, but I thought it was exactly what a beginner would need.
I particularly liked the Case Study at the end of the course. I felt that this exercise got both a beginner and an intermediate researcher like me to think hard about paying attention to every detail. Very instructive!
Thank you, Lucy, for your kind words! We work hard to build our courses in stepping stones so it goes in a logical flow for new genealogists. Each course will build on each other. Really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience :)

it is very informative
This was an excellent course to remind of the basics. There was a lot of great information.
The course learnings could be set up a little better in the PDF document, but I understand why they are set up the way they are.
I learned other ways to think about steps in the research process. Having a good base line in my skills was a given, yet, there was another layer or two added to my skill set.
