Family History Classes July through September

Summer is here and is a great time to stay cool in the air conditioning while taking a genealogy class. I'm teaching a variety of classes in the next few months to help you learn, and hope to see you at one or more classes.

Refer to the Class Schedule or Calendar pages on my website for any new classes or updates to scheduled classes--more classes are regularly added.

If you are interested in a particular topic but don't see a date or time you can attend, contact me about one-on-one coaching for your topic of interest. I also offer small private (unpublished) classes from time to time based on demand--let me know if you'd like to be placed on a waiting list for a particular class listed on my Presentations page.

Last, if you have any ideas on topics you'd like to see me teach, please reply and let me know as I plan the remainder of the year. I'm here to help you learn!
