JewishGen Learning Center

JewishGen is delighted to offer online interactive courses in Jewish genealogy, to help you organize your information and begin to trace your ancestral roots. Most courses will be eight sessions and in addition to the "lecture", will contain optional reading material and helpful links to JewishGen's resources, as well as other genealogical websites.

Opportunities for questions and answers will be provided via forums and/or news items. All courses are tuition based and require enrollment. See the individual course descriptions below for all details and technical requirements before you click on the Enroll icon to sign up for the course in which you want to participate.

JewishGen has also prepared a series of free educational videos, detailed below the classlist.
