FutureLearn's Genealogy Course
Another slightly earlier article this week! Yesterday, I was referred to a new genealogy course set up by the University of Strathclyde that is online and free to complete. It is a 6 week course and you can complete it at your own pace. The course is split up in to 6 weekly sections and you can only do one week at a time although if you get a bit behind I am sure you can catch up! The first week's section is split up into 21 smaller sections with most of the just reading a short article or video - as well as joining in some discussions.
At the end of the course you can chose to buy the certificate or not for £34.00 (+ shipping) from the FutureLearn site.
It is free to join the site and complete the course and you don't have to hand over any payment details - unless you chose to buy her the certificate. The link to the genealogy course is --> here! <-- I would highly recommend the course for everybody interested in family research from beginners to the experienced.
If you are a member of the genealogy forum RootsChat you will see a thread, in 'The Common Room' called 'Free Online Genealogy Course with FutureLearn (Week 1)' and on page 6 you will find a logo you can use as your avatar. Alternatively, if you are a member of FutureLearn doing the course and are wondering why people have a 'I go on RootsChat.com' avatar it's to help persuade people to join the forum where you can get help with your genealogy problems and brick walls, whether a 'newbie' or an expert willing to help other genealogists.
Oh and if you're looking for me on there I am Harry Clarke and I will happily follow you back!
