When you’re a family history newbie, the prospect of diving into your roots research can seem overwhelming.

We’ll help you get started with our free, two-week Family Tree University course called Discover
Your Family Tree: Genealogy for the Absolute Beginner.

This course, which begins Monday, Oct. 11, will start you on the fun and rewarding
journey of discovering your roots. You’ll learn how to begin, where to look for information
to extend your family tree, what to do with what you find and how to put it all together.
Family Tree Magazine publisher and editorial director Allison Stacy is the instructor.

Family Tree University courses are self-paced. You download each lesson (two for this
course; four for most others) and any accompanying articles and go through it at your
computer, or you can print the materials. Each lesson concludes with a quiz or exercise.
You’ll receive feedback from your instructor via e-mail, and you can communicate with
the instructor and your fellow students on a message board.

Registration

Family Tree: Genealogy for the Absolute Beginner.

The next session of Family Tree University how-to genealogy courses begins Oct. 11. You
