Course Description

From Acorn to Oak, Part Three, is the third of three courses in a genealogy series. It will help you to continue to develop your family tree by introducing you to new historical records and online searching techniques. It is also suitable for those who have already completed a significant amount of family tree research, but would like to learn more about genealogical records and how to research databases more effectively. 
 
This course focuses primarily on British family history research. Students will learn how to effectively search a number of subscription and free genealogical websites, as well as use and interpret non-conformist records and directories. This module will also focus on how to write your family history, how to break down those fiendish brick walls and what DNA tests can tell us about our family history.
