Mastering Family History Blog

According to my wife I spend too much time on the computer, and while that may be true it is amazing to me what there is to find.
This brings me to tell you about one of my new discoveries.  I was looking to find information to help with the Sunday school class we are having on how to do family history, and I came across a really nifty site.  It is Titled "Mastering Family History".  Well that topic is all over the internet but what is unique here tis that this is someone that apparently is a member of the church that has been fairly involved in getting his stake to use the New Family Search  Well there is an entire series of Video Lessons there that show you in pretty good detail how to use the new church site.

Now, of course if I was going to do the instruction they would move a little faster and possibly change the presenter every so often but bless this guys heart he did a pretty good job of making a self help site.  Check it out!!   and book mark it.

Cyndi's List of Family History Sites

Cyndi’s List is a genealogy site that is the very best on the Internet at telling you 'where to go'. It is an up to date, live person checked, site that knows where anything Family History can be found. It sorts the resources into categories of what and where. Then gives links as click troughs to where to go to find information on the Internet. Links are indexed according to what type of research you are trying to do or where you are trying to find information about. There are over 250,000 linked sites at Cyndi’s List, but the good thing here is that they are all visited and looked over by a live person to make sure they are worthwhile and the information is legitimate. It is simple to us, just decide what you want to find, and look where you think it might be, and that is probably where Cyndi Howell has arranged it too. In fact, she started the site when she was a beginner at Internet research and her site still has this charm and ease of use.
