Learning Opportunities
Confused by snippets of information you've found in online databases? Our educational courses teach you about the records so you'll understand what it means to find your ancestor's name in a probate file or deed or military record. You'll learn how to interpret the information and put it together to draw a valid conclusion, record it so you know where it came from, and follow the next logical step to find more relevant information.
NGS offers an array of educational courses for everyone from beginners just starting out to more advanced learners who want to hone their skills. Choose from the comprehensive NGS American Genealogy: Home Study Course, or the online Introduction to Genealogy.
