12 January 2007 (Jewswire.com) - Start off the New Year with a project for the generations with online Jewish genealogy classes beginning in February and March.
Providing Jewish genealogy expertise are Internet expert Micha Reisel and genealogy journalist Schelly Talalay Dardashti, who team-teach Basic Jewish Genealogy and Jewish Internet Research.
"It is a great experience," says Reisel, who stresses they thoroughly enjoyed helping students to learn not only the basics, but also how to search for additional information.
Participants have included individuals in the US, UK and Canada, as well as the Canary Islands, France, Australia, Israel and other countries. “In several classes,” says Dardashti, “students discovered research partners of the same geographical areas, as well as relatives!”
Class registration is open now at www.genclass.com.
Basic Jewish genealogy begins February 1 and gives beginning researchers the essential information to begin making great family discoveries. The class covers Ashkenazi and Sephardi research, as well as languages, calendars, charts, reference books and publications, oral history skills, reading tombstones, geography and names, immigration, major websites, sharing discoveries and more.
Jewish Internet Research begins March 1, builds on skills covered in the previous class, and covers detailed information on searching general sites, general genealogy sites, non-genealogy Jewish sites, Jewish genealogy sites, JewishGen, commercial databases, and more.
Every GenClass experienced online instructor is passionate about genealogy and helping students achieve success. With basic and advanced levels, current classes include Eastern European, Jump Start Your Project, Organize Your Project, Write Your Family History, Scottish, English, Native American, Adoption Investigation, Finding Lost Family and Friends and Family Tree Maker 16. More classes are planned.
Each four-week GenClass course offers a detailed curriculum, lessons to download each week, twice-weekly online class chats and more for a nominal $29.95 per class.
