This Basic Genealogy course consists of 8 lessons, provided online twice
weekly. Topics include genealogy formats, trees, organizing and tracking
information, interviewing, Jewish naming conventions, U.S. vital records,
U.S. Census, Ellis Island passenger manifests, and the JewishGen website
and databases. As you can see the emphasis is on U.S. records. The course
includes computer hints and tips on how to best use your computer and browse
the Internet. All classes offer individualized help through an online
Forum where you can post your family information and photographs and get
suggestions and answers to your questions.

The tuition for “Basic Genealogy” is $50, however, if you qualify for

you are welcome to enroll at no additional charge (to do so, do not

for the waiver).
