We'll touch on some basic concepts such as soundex and gedcom files and explore a variety of sources, including: Online census materials, HeritageQuest Online, Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, and many more. Participants will have a chance to do some hands-on explorations of their own family lines.

For a preview of the sources covered in this workshop, you can look at the Subject Guide for Genealogy as well as the Genealogy section of InfoTree.
