Both Shirley Hodges and Jim Moses do a great job of teaching beginning classes - thought I would share this information with some of you "newbies" Pam >Beginning Genealogy - Delta Township, Lansing, MI > >If you have friends who are just starting in genealogy, this would be a good >class for them. >Genealogy can be baffling to beginners who have no idea on where to start. >This course is designed for all those who want to do genealogical research >more effectively and efficiently. We will discuss family records, local, >state & federal records, census records, land & probates, school records, >immigration & naturalization records and miscellaneous records that are hard >to find. We will hopefully put together a four-generation chart with >accompanying group sheets by the conclusion of the class. Be prepared! You >may find more than you expect. > >The last session is always held in one of the local library facilities. >This time I am intending to have it at the MSU Library unless the students >have a different facility that they would like to try. Many people don't >realize that they can get a library card and use the MSU library which truly >is a wonderful facility. I will be helping people get their cards that day >and introduce them to the collection. > >Saturdays, February 2 through 23, 9:00 - 12:00 >4 sessions, $35 >Instructor: Shirley J.
