FamilySearch Online Family History Research Lessons

What Is An Online Lesson?

Typically, it is a class that is taught by Family History Library employees, genealogy societies, community members, and libraries with genealogical records.

These lessons are free and can be found at learning.beta.familysearch.org/researchcourses.

Why Should I Record Classes I Teach?


 * Teach hundreds more people online at familysearch.org
 * Build your teaching reputation
 * Share your genealogical expertise
 * Educate genealogists about your resources
 * Preserve a class you have taught multiple times so you can move on to new classes
 * Give back to the genealogical community
 * Post the class on your website

How Can I Get My Classes Online?

FamilySearch is starting a free on location, recording service to capture family history classes and post them online. This service will be offered at various times and locations throughout the world. A presenter can also come to Salt Lake City at any time to record a class. Your recorded class will look like the Irish Research Series

Classes must be about something related to family history research. Possible topics are


 * Research in a state, province, parish, or county
 * Research tools
 * Record types or collections
 * Technology resources

Send an e-mail to turpinca@familysearch.org. Include your name, phone number, class title, brief summary of the class, and the location you plan to record your class. (See Where and When to Record a Class). FamilySearch will call you back to schedule a time during the available dates.
