About this event:
Learn to research your family history using the FamilySearch Research Wiki. This introduction will explain how the Wiki can provide you with genealogy links plus best places to look for genealogy guidance in countries around the world. Each page contains a ‘how to get started’ section, and the links provided are listed as either free or subscription websites or contact addresses. The FamilySearch Wiki is regularly updated, so even for countries you are currently researching you may find new, reliable, sources. A practical demonstration for a few countries will be given.
