Hi All,   Pat, thanks for letting us know about this new service.  I did the first lesson yesterday, and I thought it was wonderful.  FamilySearch makes it so easy.  You can print out the "lesson plan" so you don't need to take notes.  The instructor is an experienced Irish Genealogist.  Her presentation skills are wonderful; she's well-organized and enthusiastic, traits I found inspiring!  She gave some shortcuts and ways to use some of the sites to maximize "free information".  If the rest of the lessons are as professional as the first, they are worth every minute to view them.   Regards, Trish
