JewishGen Learning Center: Course Schedule

• The two week courses are text based and offer self-paced exercises for each topic. Most of these two week courses are available at no charge to Value Added Members of JewishGen
• Three and four week courses feature a Personal Mentoring program, in addition to the written lessons. Students are encouraged to post one ancestral branch (one surname), set goals for their research, and work with the instructor to research that branch on our interactive FORUM. We are quite proud of our classes and they get rave reviews! To see how to enroll and what the class format is click here.
