Online courses are a great way to learn more about genealogy. You can take an online genealogy course from Family Tree University from the comfort of your own home and without having to brave the cold weather.
There are several Power Courses being offered in November. What’s a Power Course? They are online courses from Family Tree University that have been designed to provide a concentrated dose of genealogy education on a single topic. Several of them are about to start in November. You get a week to go through about two hours of course material. It is presumed that genealogists who take a Power Course already understand the basics of genealogy research.
The Power Courses will be offered twice in November. One session will start on November 5, 2012, and end on November 11, 2012. The second session will begin the next day, November 12, 2012, and end on November 18, 2012. The tuition for any of the Power Courses is $39.99. Some topics include:
Power Course: California Genealogy will include an hour long California Genealogy Crash Course video, and several PDF’s that are specific to California genealogy. This is a self-led course.
Power Course: Illinois Genealogy includes an hour Crash Course on Illinois genealogy records and research strategies. It also has three PDF’s. Genealogists who are new to Illinois genealogy, and those who are seasoned veterans of it, will learn about helpful tools, sources, and strategies to use when searching for ancestors from Illinois.
Power Course: New York Genealogy Courses includes a video that is a New York Genealogy Crash Course. It also has three helpful state specific PDF guides. Part of the description for this course reads: “With four centuries of history and notably draconian privacy laws, New York can be a challenging place to research.” The course will teach you some techniques to help you with your research.
Power Course: Coming to America will be offered twice in November, just like the other Power Courses. Note that the tuition for this course is $59.99. This one comes with a 60 minute video, a 30 minute video, and two helpful PDF guides. It also comes with a 25% off coupon good for Family Tree University’s Immigration Master Class.
These are just a few of the Power Courses that Family Tree University is offering in November. There are Power Courses for other states, for getting through your “Brick Wall”, and much more.
