This course will familiarize you with how to gather the major sources used in family history research, as well as how to properly analyze, organize, and document them. A variety of sources, both print and digital, will be covered including vital, census, church, military and land records. In addition to readings and lectures, students will complete a series of assignments in order to acquire research skills. Note: Students enrolled for 4 hours of credit will be required to complete a compiled genealogy and some personal monetary expenses should be expected of students completing this project (e.g., expenses incurred for ordering records, etc.). Acquiring the necessary documents could cost approximately $100.00 to $200.00, but this amount will vary depending on where the documents are located, and if any are available in online databases.
