Overview

This hands-on, Web-based workshop is presented in four parts:

Part 1 is an introduction to the essential skills and knowledge 
needed for beginning genealogical researchers using the Web as both 
an information resource and a communications tool.

Part 2 covers several excellent reference and documentation search 
tools for genealogical researchers that have been published on the 
Web by academic, scholarly, volunteer, or commercial compilers. This 
workshop focuses on the Web reference tools that are free, high 
quality, and most useful.

Part 3 teaches how the Web is used as a communications and networking 
tool for genealogical researchers.  Many archives, genealogical 
societies and libraries have a Web presence that may provide 
documents and data as well as the information required for planning 
travel and inter-library borrowing for genealogical research.

Part 4 is an introduction to the essential skills and knowledge 
needed for beginning genealogical researchers using the Web as both 
an information resource and a communications tool to establish and 
research international, African American, and/or Native American 
ancestors on the Web. Note:  This workshop begins at the point where 
the researcher has documented the existence of an ancestor from 
another country, or an Native American ancestor. In order to research 
Native American ancestors it is essential that a tribal identity be 
known.

Audience

No genealogical research knowledge is assumed. **You do not have to 
be a member of MLA to take the course nor to receive CE credits for
