Join us as we help you start researching your family history. No experience is required. Over 12 weeks we will give you the knowledge to start working on your family tree, the skills required to record the essential information & record where your sources come from. Over the sessions we will look at the main record types and where to find them, looking at differences between English and Irish Records. You will be emailed a selection of genealogy record forms for your own use, and we will explain how to use them throughout the course.
The course will be taught on Zoom, and you will have access to all of the class materials through a dedicated webpage on our website. The sessions will run on Monday night, with a break for Easter Monday. The course begins on Monday 8th March at 7.30pm. Sessions last 2 hours and include a talk and a question & answer session.
The 12 weeks are broken into 3 groups or modules and can be booked as a full course, or separate modules.
This Course will be run again early in 2022
