Learn how to use the FS Descendancy features to systematically locate and/or verify members of your ancestor's families. There will be a specific emphasis on looking for missing family members. We will seek to accomplish this by searching in FS databases and those of other family history websites for vital records and other ancestral documents.
We will model and practice two ways to locate FS indexed records… finding selected Record Hints (those little blue squares) and exploring Search Records in FamilySearch. A "Steps with Pictures" handout will guide us through the process including how to attach records to our ancestors made easy by the specially designed Source Linker program.  Importantly, you will have the opportunity to practice with a consultant attaching records to your ancestors.  Due to the hands-on nature of this class, the duration is 1½ hours.

This class will teach you about six different tools you can use while viewing the fan chart and how to access them. We will also look at the person details page and basic tools in FamilySearch.
 
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.

We will model and practice two ways to locate FS indexed records… finding selected Record Hints (those little blue squares) and exploring Search Records in FamilySearch. A "Steps with Pictures" handout will guide us through the process including how to attach records to our ancestors made easy by the specially designed Source Linker program.  Importantly, you will have the opportunity to practice with a consultant attaching records to your ancestors.  Due to the hands-on nature of this class, the duration is 1½ hours.
Civil records, church records, vital records. Birth, marriage and death records have different names depending on who created or retained them, and frequently contain information about family relationships that is extremely helpful to researchers. This class will discuss where to find these types of records, depending on time period, location and religion.

ATTENTION:  Space in this hands-on Merging/Unmerging Duplicates class is limited.  To actively participate you need to register and enter 20 minutes before class starts.  At that time you will receive an essential “Clara ______” PID code and directions to print both Merging Exercise and Merging Sources handouts.
In this class you will learn about census records, why we have them and how to use them in your research.  Every census has different information that can help in your search. In the class we will go over each census record and point out information that is not on other censuses. When you look at the whole line left to right you will find hidden treasures.
 
In this 1 ½ hour class we tackle the challenges of Merging and, equally important, Unmerging 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 lafsl.org / Online Classes / FamilySearch Classes / 2.2 Intermediate and Advanced / Merging/Unmerging Duplicates Class Handouts.

Learn how to evaluate records for accuracy and reliability, how to gather and organize information found on records, and identify what questions to consider when new or conflicting information is found on a record.
Learn how to use the FamilySearch Descendancy features to systematically locate and/or verify members of your ancestor's families.  There will be a specific emphasis on looking for missing family members.  We will seek to accomplish this by searching in FS databases and those of other family history websites for vital records and other ancestral documents.

Civil records, church records, vital records. Birth, marriage and death records have different names depending on who created or retained them, and frequently contain information about family relationships that is extremely helpful to researchers. This class will discuss where to find these types of records, depending on time period, location and religion.
In this class we will learn how to use special tools in FamilySearch to analyze what we already know about an ancestor and form research questions based on that analysis. Then we will write a research goal and divide that goal into smaller steps that can be recorded in the FamilySearch To-Do List.

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

This presentation will discuss certain research techniques for locating your German ancestors. John will discuss certain tools for LOCATING A PLACE OF ORIGIN (which is essential to even beginning your search). He will also show the attendees how to use some of the German databases available on the web. Handouts will be included.
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.

This presentation discusses how you can do research on your California roots, utilizing the FamilySearch catalog. Many people don’t realize how valuable the catalog is, but sample searches will show people how to utilize the catalog to find the records you are looking for.
John P. Schmal will discuss surname databases for the various countries of Europe and the United States. Surname distribution maps and databases can be used to determine where your surname originated in a given country. They can be especially useful for unusual and rare surnames. There will also be a discussion of techniques for how to better understand your results.

If your ancestors came from Mexico, you have a unique opportunity that is not available to many other ethnic groups. Many Mexican church records going back over 300 years are filled with details that are lacking in many other countries. Some Mexican records even go back to the 1500s and 1600s and many of them are available to you in the comfort of your home. Veteran genealogist John Schmal will show attendees how to access the records of their Mexican ancestors online and give them pointers about how to use that information once you have located it.
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.
