This course will look at the sources that are available when you start investigating your family history. These include birth, marriage and death records, church records, school and employment records, census and other lists of names. The course will also look at the use of DNA to assist in your research, how to store and present the information collected, and how family postcards and photographs can be used to assist in research. Each week we will look at particular groups of sources.
