Free MyHeritage Course
I’m so excited to tell you that
MyHeritage has just launched our first-ever full-length online course:
Introduction to Genealogy, hosted by yours truly.
The course is a natural extension of what we’ve been building with the
MyHeritage Knowledge Base: a free, comprehensive educational resource on
genealogy. The course contains detailed lessons from a top-notch panel
of experts providing a strong foundation in family history research.
It’s intended for people who are new to genealogy or who started in the
past and are looking to pick it up again.
The Introduction to Genealogy course is
hosted on the Knowledge Base, and like everything else there, it’s free
to all. Simply register to gain access to all the course materials and
to track your progress as you move through the course.
The course focuses on 3 main areas:
Family trees
Historical records and research
DNA testing for genealogy
Each section is divided into chapters and lessons that cover a wide
range of topics, tools, and strategies for conducting family history
research. The 40 lessons sometimes include short assignments and
additional materials to help you practice and absorb what you’ve
learned. You’ll also find quizzes to test your knowledge at various
points along the way. You’ll be able to move at your own pace and track
your progress as you go.
I invite you to
check it out and share it far and wide. It’s the perfect way to
introduce all the budding genealogists you know to the world of family
history! You can read our
