New Research Courses on the FamilySearch Learning Site

I'm trying to stay up-to-date on the offerings at www.FamilySearch.org, and it can be a challenge.  I last reported these on 2 March 2011 in New "Research Courses" on the FamilySearch Learning Site, when there were about 130 courses listed.

One of the most useful educational tools is the genealogical presentations on the Learn tab - go to https://learning.familysearch.org/researchcourses.

Here are the courses listed with a green NEW label as of today:
Australian BDM Civil Registration Research, presented by Allan D. Murrin (23 minutes)

New South Wales Early Church Records, 1788-1886, presented by Allan D. Murrin (21 minutes)

Using the New South Wales Birth, Death, Marriage Index, presented by Allan D. Murrin (26 minutes)

Getting the Most from The National Archives Website, presented by Audrey Collins (23 minutes)

What is Britain? presented by Audrey Collins (32 minutes)

Mentoring class: Introduction to ICAPGEN, presented by Tristan L. Tolman (8 minutes)

Mentoring Class: Research Binder, presented by Tristan L. Tolman (18 minutes)

Mentoring Class: Evidence Analysis, Part II, presented by Tristan L. Tolman (27 minutes)

If those don't wet your genea-whistle, go check the entire list of over 142 research courses at https://learning.familysearch.org/researchcourses.

The neat thing about these courses are that they are taught by subject matter experts, they are free to access, and they can be viewed by individuals or groups with an Internet connection.  Think about how your local society could use them for member programs and classes.
