Family Search Learning Center

Those of you who participated in the recent field trip to the local Family History Center in West Ashley were introduced to some of the vast resources available through the LDS library.  Most of us aren't going to hop on a plane and visit Salt Lake City to take advantage of this repository. But this is 2015 and you don't have to do that in order to access most of the available material.

Did you know that FamilySearch.org also houses, within its website, an entire learning center complete with videos and webinars?

If you click here the link will take you directly to the Learning Center home page. There are classes and training sessions (long and short) listed by country, skill level and subject matter.  Hundreds and hundreds of them.  For FREE! Just on the home page there were twenty-one, five-minute mini-courses for the beginning genealogist.  

Below is a screenshot of their new and most popular courses:

Who doesn't have five minutes to learn something new?  So sit down at your computer and take a virtual trip to the LDS library in Salt Lake City.  You have nothing to lose and everything to learn!
