Beginning Monday October 26, I will be the instructor for Family Tree University's course on Scottish Genealogy Research.
Here are 8 great reasons to take this course:
1. Easy-to-follow lessons show you how to find and use genealogy resources. Too often, how-to seminars and articles tell you that resources are available to you, but don't explain how to actually use them or where to get them.
2. You can learn from my experiences. As a genealogy professional, I have a lot of experience using and teaching about the subject of this class. By taking my class, you'll benefit from the knowledge of someone who's been there.
3. Impress your friends with a cool diploma. You'll get a certificate when you complete the course so you can show off what you learned. Don't worry, this isn't a professional certification—Family Tree University courses are for hobbyists just like you.
4. You can go to class in your jammies. There's no set time you have to show up for class—you can log in at 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning, whatever's convenient to you. And there's no one else in the room to see your bed head or bunny slippers.
5. Connect with other genealogists. Each course has a private message board just for the students and instructor, where you can bounce around ideas and share your challenges with other researchers just like you.
6. You'll become a better researcher. The time, effort and money you invest in taking a Family Tree University course will pay dividends by teaching you how to trace your ancestors more efficiently, confidently and cost-effectively.
7. You can save class materials for future reference. Each lesson and reading assignment is available as a PDF download, so that even after your course session concludes, you can keep all the materials to refer to later.
8. You'll make research progress. Our classes incorporate exercises that allow you to practice techniques and apply what you've learned to your own family history work.
And if that's not enough, I have arranged for ScotlandsPeople to provide each student with 30 FREE CREDITS to use on the website!
