Are you looking to develop your technology skills around family history? This three-part course is designed to build upon key understandings and principles of family history research and show you how to interact with various platforms, websites and software to ensure you make the most of the tools available to you.

In this hands-on course, you'll learn to:

  • Set Up Your Computer for Research: Learn how to organise your digital workspace for efficient and effective genealogical research.

  • Access Key Repositories and Record Sets: Discover where to find vital records and how to remotely access many of these resources.
  • Search Indexes Effectively: Master the art of navigating indexes to uncover the hidden details of your ancestors' lives.
  • Employ a Variety of Software: Gain skills in a variety of software packages, many of which you already have access to, in order to organise and manage your findings.

Using a case study approach, each session will demonstrate key skills in real-time, ensuring you gain practical experience. Our expert instructor will guide you through the process, providing ample time to address your own questions and work through any trouble spots.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the foundational digital skills needed to conduct thorough and organised family history research.  The course is aimed at foundation level, for those starting their research or those who perhaps feel overwhelmed with the amount of information available.
