There are plenty of genealogy classes that you can take online. Sometimes, though, it can be nice to get out of the house, and be around people who all enjoy doing genealogy. One way to find upcoming genealogy events, classes, or workshops, is to look in your local newspaper. Or, you might find one in this blog!
