SUMMARY:Still Learning 11: Discovering Family History - Genealogy Basics
DESCRIPTION:This course will take place on May 1 and 8\, 2025\, in Mercer\, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.\, with Emmie Norton.\nParticipants will learn the basics of getting started on their own family history through genealogical research in the most efficient manner possible. Getting one’s research organization plan will be described. Primarily free Internet resources will be covered and utilized in class. There will be short descriptions of the major subscription based websites. Genealogy software will be discussed. We will do live searches in both classes. \nRequirements: Since most genealogical research occurs on the Internet\, students should have some basic experience with computers and Internet searches or be willing to learn. Family history research knowledge will still be useful to those who are less proficient with online searches. Prior to class one\, the instructor will ask for some basic information from students about their own family history questions. There will be some simple homework tasks after the first class. \nThe course will be given in two sessions\, each 120 minutes long\, at the Mercer Public Library. \nWe recommend signing up at least two weeks ahead of class to ensure class fills and to prevent cancellation. \nThis course is limited to 15 students. \nInstructor: Emmie Norton \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us. \nCourse Cancellations: Students are encouraged to register at least 2 weeks before the beginning of any Fe University course. A course with less than 4 students 2 weeks before the start date may be cancelled at instructor/FeU discretion\, with students’ registrations refunded. If you’re interested in a class\, please sign up early! Thank you. \nStudent Cancellations: If a registered student cancels\, registration can be refunded if requested 4 or more days before the course’s start date. We’re afraid cancellation requests made 3 or fewer days before the course’s start date are unable to be refunded. \nAll courses in our series Still Learning After All These Years are priced at a discount thanks to  generous donations from Bader Philanthropies Inc. and  the Northern Wisconsin Mental Health Foundation.
