Brigham Young University offers free online courses in genealogy. You have to register but there is no cost. There are general genealogy courses as well as courses that cover specific nationalities (immigrants from Germany, France, etc.). http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/special_offers/freecourses.cfm Lisa

Thanks Lisa...I think I will give one of the courses a try. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/Garden/4548/

Elizabeth You're welcome. I haven't tried any of the courses yet, but since they're free, I thought they would be worth checking out. I'm teaching a beginning genealogy class at my local adult school this spring so I wanted to look into some formal "training". I've learned a lot researching my own family but it's not the same as helping someone with their own. I'm only familiar with the countries I've searched.
