Are you fairly new to family history or been researching for less than three years? Do you know the basics, but need some ongoing support to develop your core research skills?
In SAG’s Beginners Research Methods course, you will work on your own family history under the guidance of Danielle Lautrec over a period of eight months. Included in the course are two lectures and nine workshops (fourteen contact hours in total). Danielle will teach you to plan your research, identify research priorities and research questions, cite your sources and other important research skills. Each technique will be applied to your own family history, to help you progress your research. Prior completion of the SAG’s Beginners Course (or comparable course) is recommended but is not essential.
It is also recommended that participants have a copy of Danielle’s book, The Good Genealogist. The book may be purchased through the Society (at this link) and is available in some libraries.
