How are you doing with Family Tree? If you are not yet totally comfortable with it and have not learned how to add, change, correct, merge, reserve ordinances or include sources, come to one or both of our classes. We offer two Family Tree Classes: Family Tree Overview and Family Tree Elements. They are both among our most popular classes, but how do they differ? Check the "Calendar" and/or the Currant Class List for dates.
Family Tree Overview1. This is a four hour class taught in two, two hour sessions. 2. The class is lecture, power-point based. 3. A CD is given to each student containing the class concepts and a printable manual. 4. Students may ask questions. 5. The class is taught by Dennis Weist | Family Tree Elements1. This is a four day class taught in two hour sessions each time. 2. This class is a hands-on computer class. 3. Each student has a computer to work through each concept 4. Students may ask questions and get computer help. 5. The class is taught by Dianne Graham |
Dennis Weist describes his class as an "Overview," but it is exceptionally informative and well presented. Dianne Graham assists each of her students as they learn to use Family Tree on the computer. Both are excellent teachers and know Family Tree thoroughly. They suggest that you take both classes. The Overview to prepare you, and the computer class to help you put it all into practice. The March dates make that easy to do. The Overview class is March 11 &12 at 1:30-3:30, and Family Tree Elements is March 18, 21, 25, 28 at 1:30 - 3:30 each day. Look it over and decide which method works for you.
