Classes on CD for Sale

Note: PGS books are available for sale here.

All CD’s consist of PowerPoint presentations and have both audio and visual parts. To get the most from them, you need to have speakers or earphones attached to your computer. The presentations will automatically load and run on any Windows computer running Windows 98 and later. You do not need to have the PowerPoint program loaded on your computer to see the class--the PowerPoint viewer comes pre-loaded on the disc.

Included with each disc is a detailed set of instructions (but remember, all you really need to do is load and enjoy). Included on the disc is also a printable handout that supports the computer presentation.

CD-Started	Getting Started in Genealogy	This is a great way to learn the beginning steps in genealogy. The class covers what information you need to collect, initial places to search for it, and how to keep track of it once you have it. The presentation then goes further and introduces you to some key internet sources of data and to using a computer program to record and organize your information. If you are past this beginning level yourself, the disc makes a wonderful gift for a friend or family member who may want to start their family genealogy.	$10.00	$15.00
CD-Census	Census Tracking	This class provides hints, tips, tactics and strategies in using census records to trace your ancestors. An actual case study is used to trace a family line from the 1930 census back to 1810. The focus is not only on finding information that the census explicitly provides, but to also learn to read between the lines to uncover hidden information. The search strategy you learn may lead to discovering ancestors you did not know you had, and sources outside of the census that you might not have been aware of. Also, the class demonstrates how census search strategies differ for records before and after that critical census year of 1850.	$10.00	$15.00
CD-Organizing	Organizing Paper and Electronic Files	Paper and electronic filing systems and the genealogy computer program we use are three parts of an overall system that must successfully work together. Both paper and electronic documents (this includes photographs) must be correctly and consistently named, filed, and referenced to ensure they can be found when needed, refilled accurately, and never lost. This class outlines in detail the hallmarks of such a system and recommends one approach specifically. Whether you have an adequate filing system now or not, you will get some ideas for improvement from this class.	$10.00	$15.00
