It is been almost a year since we offered our 4 day training class. Patrons often had to register one and two months in advance to get in. We are  pleased to present our new and improved version of this class, Genealogy Research Boot Camp which is a now a 3 day class from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M on Tue. Oct.15-Thur. Oct.17. Read more below about how this class can prepare you to be more effective and efficient in your family history research. Class members will build knowledge and . . .  (Read more below)

confidence in researching their ancestors.

This class offers hands-on learning with each class member having a computer. Trainers will offer assistance as needed so that every class member will learn the skills needed while working on their own family lines. Because this class is mostly hands-on and the names being researched are their own family names, students will learn with greater interest and thus grasp the needed concepts far more quickly and effectively.  

The next Genealogy Boot Camp will be on October 15 - 17, 8:30 A.M.-4:30 P.M.

In the "Boot Camp" class members will learn -
  • How to research using Family Tree
  • How to add outside sources to your Family Tree
  • How to understand and use the Cloud
  • How to locate the records you need
  • About the free subscription websites available at the FS Library 
  • Successful research methods on the Internet
  • Which free internet genealogy websites can help you
  • How to find, understand, and use the major record groups such as: census, immigration, vital records, land, probate, and military
  • More

Because this class usually fills up quickly, we encourage registration to assure your place in the class (Click the "registration" link above for online registration or call 435-673-4591.). 
Please be aware that you need to have basic computer skills for this class.  If your skills are not as yet up to this level,  please take our Basic Computer Skills class first and then sign up for the "Boot Camp" class.
