In this class, you’ll become familiar with various vital records, learn to distinguish primary and secondary sources, and interpret census, naturalization, and military draft registration data.
You’ll also learn how to avoid common research errors and explore different types of simple family tree publications. The topics include: Digging into Vital Records, Uncovering Census Basics, Avoiding Research Errors, and more. The virtual class is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22nd, from 1 pm to 3 pm.
