There are many reasons for people to start genealogy research. The main reason for starting genealogical research is the curiosity of wanting to know more about their ancestors or family history. The main problem is that many people do not know where to look or they do not find any results after searching for hours or even days to months. This task can be time consuming and frustrating when you do not find any results. This course is designed to improve your results and gather genealogical records about your family in to a written record.

You are required to search one side of your grandmother's family and one side of your grandfather's family. You are required to research at least five generations of each side of your family. You may want to search both of your grandparents' family because this will provide you with your maximum results and then you can narrow your search down to one line on each side of your grandparents' family. The goals of this course are to provide you with the resources and tools necessary for researching your family history. The goal of the first lesson is for you to find basis information for your genealogical research. The goal of the second lesson is for you to locate specific records such as birth, marriage and death records, cemetery listings, court records, immigration, and other records that relate to your ancestors' history. Your next goal is locating web sites that will provide you with information for researching specific states in the United States relating to your ancestors. The fourth goal is locating genealogical records in other countries relating to your ancestors. The last goal is for you to pull all your resources and research together into a written record and uploading your genealogical written record to a database for future researchers.
