FamilySearch has New Research Courses

...
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 4 April 2011 in New Research Courses on the FamilySearch Learning Site, when there were 142 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:

*  5 Minute Genealogy Episode 1: Find a Record in Five Minutes by Jessie Davis

*  5 Minute Genealogy Episode 3: Record What You Know by Jessie Davis

*  5 Minute Genealogy Episode 4: Learn from Family by Jessie Davis

*  5 Minute Genealogy Episode 12: Write It Down by Jessie Davis

*  The English Parish (30 minutes) by Audrey Collins

*  Building a German Genealogy Library (43 minutes) by Kenneth Craft

*  Secuencia correcta al buscar en registros parroquiales (16 minutes) by Francisco Javier Gomez

 *  The 2 Sides of Interviewing (54 minutes) by Jean Wilcox Hibben

 *  Going Social with Genealogy (31 minutes) by Robin Foster

 *  The New Search System in the Family History Library Edition of Ancestry.com (35 minutes) by Barbara Renick

 *  Building a Probable Case by Census Tracking (16 minutes) by Virginia Majeske

 *  Census Tracking for Beginners (17 minutes) by Virginia Majeske

 *  Civil War Research: Learning about Your Union Veteran Ancestor (51 minutes) by Jean Wilcox Hibben

 *  The Most Overlooked Record-Types in South Carolina (66 minutes) by Robin Foster

 *  NGS Book Loan Collection (31 minutes) by Ruth Ann Hager

 *  Selective Service Records (WWI) Draft Cards and More (41 minutes) by Linda Woodward Geiger

 *  Tool Kit for State Liaisons (20 minutes) by Jan Meisels Allen

 There are now 161 Research Courses listed at https://familysearch.org/learn/researchcourses. 

 

Note: I did not look for duplicate listings in different topics, so there may be fewer than that number.

 

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.
