It's a brand new year with some brand new classes ready to help you on your way to gathering in your ancestors.  Look over the descriptions of the first six classes in January. Look at the full class list in the next page, then "Book" the classes that will help you in your plans. Following are descriptions of six of our new classes.  

Glen & Norma Hovey lead a class in Basic Computer Skills that teaches not only basic computer skills but also the specialized skills needed by the genealogist.  If you need better keyboarding skills, you need this class.  If you are an okay keyboarder but not up on genealogy keyboard techniques, this may be just the class for you.  

"I am ready; I am willing, now make me able."  New to family research?  Not sure where to start?  The Help, Where Do I Start? class may be just what you need.  You may have a pile of "stuff," or not.  You may have Grandma's Book of Remembrance, or not.  Wherever you are, Sharon Kiser is the right person to help you learn where to take the next step. 

Family Tree – Finding The Buttons a Family Tree class – Jeanine VanderBruggen takes you on a guided tour of all the parts of Family Tree.  This is a hands-on class giving an overview of how to navigate around in Family Tree.  Not just for beginners.  If you are only utilizing a portion of the Family Tree site, come join us to find out what you may have been missing and what’s new since you started.  And believe me, there is something new nearly every day. 

Take a break between classes then start Family Tree - Climbing Your Tree, the next step after “Finding The Buttons.”  This hands-on class will help you begin your search by using the different tools (buttons) provided to locate elusive ancestors.  Learn how to edit and clean up your records, add missing names, follow the hints, and use the sandbox as you learn to use the "Buttons" in FamilySearch Family Tree.

Jim Orman will lead Cleaning, Pruning, and Grafting Your Family Tree.  Finding duplicate people in your tree? Someone missing?  A stranger among them?  Learn how to handle duplicates, correct relationships, to merge or not to merge, getting help.  This class will help you discover how to correct these problems in a way that does not create more problems.   

The Best Sources Win is led by Alora Howard this week.  Is the record of your family Truth or Mythology?  Learn what a proper source is, how to create a source, and how to use the Family Tree Source Box. You will also learn how to add a source from a website or a document.  Don’t give up – get sourced!
