This class will help you learn to add scanned documents as sources. We will fill out the Sources window with the important information about a person contained in the document and then attach it to that person. We will also learn how to attach records in the Source Box to people. Please come prepared with a couple of scanned documents that you would like to attach to someone.
Learn how to search the entire FamilySearch database using the Catalog. This will include searching indexed and unindexed records, book titles and authors, and keyword searches. Learn how to navigate through unindexed record collections to find digitized original records.

In this class we tackle the challenges of Merging and Unmerging Duplicates in a made-up family where we can practice the STEPS without doing harm to our own family in Family Tree. We refer to fictitious SOURCES to help us make merging decisions. Both STEPS and SOURCE handouts are provided ahead of class. Unmerging may be more difficult than merging, so there will be direction and practice in that. Due to the hands-on nature of this class, the duration is 1½ hours.


In this class, we tackle the challenges of Merging Duplicates in a made-up family (in beta.familysearch) by following a specific EXERCISE handout.  We refer to fictitious SOURCES to help us make merging decisions.  Thus, we can practice these processes without doing harm to our own family in Family Tree.  Handouts can be printed from the links below.

Unmerging may be a great class to piggyback onto the merging class.  Sometimes we find that merges have taken place that should not have taken place so we must perform an unmerge.  We will show you how to unmerge in this class and you will be able to practice in this 1/2 hour class.
We will use the same made up family as used in the merging class (in beta.familysearch). By following a specific EXERCISE handout you will beable to reverse the process and learn how to unmerge with our doing harm to our own tree in FamilySearch.  Handouts can be printed and are linked below.

Learn all about how to use the Family Tree app on your phone. FamilySearch has made using the app simple and convenient.
In this advanced class you will learn how to copy multiple census pages for a particular location and quickly transfer the data to a spreadsheet, where it can be easily evaluated.  This powerful process allows you to gather, sort. and filter information electronically for many individuals.  This process increases your ability to see important details that are readily missed in a normal page by page search.
YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO:
*Access to Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel,
*A computer with a keyboard, 
*Access to Ancestry census records (preferred) OR FamilySearch

'''African American Research Part II - Jackie Ireland'''</p>
People who have ancestors in Mexico have an incredible advantage in tracing their roots. Mexico has some of the best records in the world (especially baptisms and marriages) and FamilySearch.org represents a huge reservoir of these records from every part of Mexico. Whether your Mexican American family came from Mexico four generations ago or more recently, this presentation provides you with suggestions for researching your family history. This lecture will be provided to help beginners as they start their journey.
 
<p style= " font-size:13px">African-American-specific family history websites are the focus of this class. Included are well-known sites, such as Afrigeneas, as well as outstanding sites selected annually as a part of the 101 best genealogy websites featured in Family Tree Magazine.

When most people think about the Indigenous people of Mexico, they think of the Aztecs and Mayans, but the Aztec Empire only ruled over eight of the current 32 states of Mexico and the Mayans inhabited only five states of present-day Mexico.  We believe that every Mexican state has a story to tell and every one of Mexico's ethnolingistic groups has a story to tell.  We hope to give them a voice by telling their stories.
Genealogist John P. Schmal will discuss the many dimensions of exploring your Indigenous California Roots.  Pointing out the value of California’s Mission records, John will discuss the many techniques and resources available for exploring your California roots online.  These will include the Mission Records and the Huntington Libraray’s California Early Population Project.  We will also discuss the value of National Archives and Ancestry.com in locating Indigenous ancestors.  Handouts will be included.

The Mexican state of Chicuahua has been a crossroads between the north and south for many centureies.  Dozens of indigenous people inhabited the region, but the silver industry and the mission system transformed the region during the colonial period.  However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Apaches terrorized the area, and many native people either joined the Apaches or fled to the Spanish settlements for protection. John P Schmal will discuss Chihuahua's indigenous people through five centuries from the early colonial period to the present day status of its indigenous citizens.
Help people learn about doing genealogical research for their Indigenous roots in Mexico.  Using a PowerPoint presentation, genealogist John Schmal will show examples of Indian baptisms and marriages from various parts of the country.  He will also discuss the issue of tribal identity and the use of the generic term "indio" in Catholic Church records as early as the 1600s. Some of the challenges of tracing indigenous families beyond several generations will be discussed.

</font></div>
</font></div>


<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><font size="3">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><font size="3">
This is a lecture to help people learn about the wonderful diversity of Jalisco’s original inhabitants. Using a PowerPoint presentation, genealogist and historian John Schmal will discuss the languages and the history of the Indigenous peoples who lived in Jalisco during the Sixteenth Century. He will also discuss the Indian revolts of the Nineteenth Century and show Jalisco’s recent census data relating to indigenous languages.
The present-day states of Veracruz and Puebla were both conquered by the Aztecs and, a century later, they were conquered by the Spaniards. In spite of this turmoil, both states have maintained significant indigenous populations up to the present day.  In fact, in the 2010 census, Puebla and Veracruz contained more than half of all the Náhuatl speakers in Mexico. Using a PowerPoint presentation, genealogist John Schmal will discuss the indigenous people that inhabited both states from 1500 to the present day.
