Navigating Ancestry.com: Finding the Treasures While Avoiding the Minefields

Ilene Murray, StLGS publications director

This subscription website is the most well-known of online resources for genealogy. The site contains millions of valuable records from all over the world, but it also can be difficult to use unless you know how to find what you need and avoid the misleading and erroneous distractions. We will look at federal and state record sets, reference materials, and other features of the site, explore some search strategies to help you find what you need, and assess the merits and pitfalls of the public member trees. (You do not need an Ancestry subscription to take this class, but you should have some familiarity with the site.)

 

 

If you want to attend in-person, click the red button to sign-up.  Or contact the office as described at the top of this page.

Click the blue button below to go to the Zoom online registration page for StLGS members.
