The Internet has made it easy to gather information about family histories, however, it is still important to use proper research techniques to understand the records being consulted and to flesh out the raw details of a family tree with information about the lives of ancestors. Designed for people who have already gathered the basic information on their families, this course stresses the need for research in local history and social history as well and will help participants understand how to use a wide variety of resources and plan further work.

Facilitator: Dave Obee has been researching his family history since 1978. He has written nine books on genealogy and has given more than 250 presentations through Canada and the US. He is the former president of the Victoria Genealogical Society and of the Federation of East European Family History Societies.
