[Genealib] Beginning Genealogy Class

[Sharon Centanne]

HI Gail,

Good luck finding a good name. Sometimes simple is good like "How to 
trace your family
history" or "Finding your Roots".  I used to teach a class called 
"Discover Your Irish Roots"
with a lot of beginning information thrown in.

Then when I went to library school, I put together an online genealogy 
tutorial entitled
"Librarian's Guide to Helping Patrons with Genealogical Research". (That 
was ten years ago,
and long names were in.) I have recently updated most of that site, and 
my page on teaching
beginners' classes, with lots of tips, is located at:
