JewishGen no longer teaches the Beginner Course, but for those interested we have had decided to make the lessons available via email. These six lessons (80 pages in 6 pdfs) thoroughly document the following:

• Fundamental Issues
  • Introduction to Jewish Genealogy
  • Genealogy Charts and Forms
  • Organization of Information
  • Researching and Evaluating Results
  • Preserving Documents & Photographs
  • Computer Basics: Labelling Files and Folders, Printing, Web Pages
• Genealogy Research
  • U.S. Federal Census
  • U.S. Vital Records and How to Acquire Them
  • Passenger Manifests and Ellis Island
  • Searching the Internet and Contacting Relatives

Why is this better than a book? because these lessons contains hundreds of tested links to sources on the Internet; this will jumpstart your research.

There is no requirement to receive this series of lessons; everyone is eligible. The price is $50.00, payable by clicking on this link.

We are in the process of creating a Flash Card with formatting instructions, which will be sent to every student.
