Ancestry.com is my go-to website for my research. It’s typically my first stop when I’m looking for the answer to a research question. I’ve been using it with a lot of success for many years. As you may have noticed, they’ve recently changed the interface somewhat and I have to admit that’s thrown me for a bit of a loop.
So when I saw that Amy Johnson Crow was offering a workshop called All About Ancestry, I jumped at the chance to sign up. I took her similar workshop on Family Search last year and it was excellent. (Amy’s teaching style really clicks with the way I think. It’s not too slow or too fast…it’s just right.) One of the things I love about taking her workshops live is that she allows time for students to actually try out what she’s talking about on the website we’re learning about, using our own research questions. And she leaves open plenty of time for questions.
Rather than signing up for the $99 four-part workshop, I decided to spring for her $270 Annual Pass. I’ll get the Ancestry workshop plus at least one other workshop and access to all the previous workshops, access to community forums, and a monthly members-only Q&A Zoom with Amy.
The All About Ancestry workshop starts next week. It will be held live at 6 pm central time on January 18, 20, 25 and 27, 2022. Each session is recorded, so you can watch later it you’re not able to catch the live presentation. And you can listen to it repeatedly if you want to. The fee is $99. Learn more and register at Amy’s website.
If you sign up, let me know in the comments so I can look for you during the Zoom classes!
