ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
Doing the same searches and genealogical work over and over again is like driving a car in a deep rut in the road. It seems like you can't break out of the habit. This class takes you through the process of moving on to a more productive genealogy life with ways to expand your knowledge and focus. Take some time think through how you are approaching your genealogical challenges
