What will I learn?
This short Genealogy Course teaches you practical ways to follow people who moved across the Atlantic from 1890 to 1925. You will use passenger lists, censuses, army records, birth and death papers, church books, and citizenship files. You will learn good research habits, how to check sources well, ways to search online, and simple foreign language skills. All this while making strong family trees, stories about why people moved, and clear reports with good proof that you can use for more study or to share.
