JewishGen Learning Center: Course Schedule
JewishGen is delighted to offer online interactive courses in
Jewish genealogy, to help you organize your information and
begin to trace your ancestral roots. - 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
