Using
the Internet, access the largest genealogical library in the world located
in Salt Lake City - without ever leaving your home! Perform searches,
knowledgeably; and more importantly - understand what you've found.
You're not a Mormon? Me neither, but I've spent decades studying these
awesome records. In this course I'll share what I've learned, lots of
hints and tips, including why we non-Mormons may also find our ancestors
included in these records. These records are the gateway to all distance
researching - and much less expensive than having to travel there every
time you need to search for an ancestor and their associated records.
Complete
this course, and Part 2 shows you even more
of what you've been missing! These courses should be MANDATORY for all
genealogists! You will be so glad you've taken this opportunity.
