Genealogy – Researching Your Pre-1850 Ancestry
As
a family historian’s research progresses further back in time, tracing ancestors

will be available. Some sources known to be useful will contain less vital data
unless evaluated in different ways. This class will help you navigate through
this dark territory in your genealogical research. 7.5 hrs (3 weeks)
