Skill Building Resources for the New Year

new-year-4

If you’ve set a goal to improve your genealogy research skills in 2017, you will want to visit the ICAPGen (SM) “Skill Building Resources” page.  Here you will find links to college and university courses and degrees, conferences and institutes, and other helpful resources.

For access to many excellent (and free!) online presentations covering a wide spectrum of localities, methodologies, and subjects, check out YouTube and enter “genealogy research” in the search bar. That will bring up about 69,000 results, but filtering by channel or entering additional search terms in the search bar will narrow things down for you.

Another great resource for free online genealogy videos is the FamilySearch Learning Center, which has hundreds of excellent presentations organized by locality, subject, and skill level.
