I've just completed teaching the first run of my new course for Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Ltd, entitled Progressing Your Irish Research Online, which I must admit has been some of the best fun I've experienced in a few years! These are some of the comments from students:
"Great course!"
"The course has opened my eyes to the huge array of resources available for family research and the importance of persisting in scrutinising seemingly unreadable documents."
"Thank you very much Chris, it’s been an excellent course. I shall be revisiting all the lessons in order to draw up a plan of action!"
"Chris, I want to thank you very much for the excellent course, well-documented, organized and executed. It helped me a lot with both Family History and general knowledge."
"Thank you very much Chris for an excellent course which I have really enjoyed. I can now go forward with a better understanding of Irish resources and how to use them which will be invaluable for my family history research."
"Thank you for teaching this course, it was time well spent!"
"Thank you, Chris, for the course. It has been good fun, and has succeeded in keeping me from the 101 jobs that need doing in the house and garden."
"This course has given me more avenues to search down in my quest to find my Irish roots."
"It is difficult to pick out the most useful, as each lesson has provided a lightbulb moment. I have also learned new tips and techniques about sources I already used and thought I knew."
"VERY helpful, and generally informative."
"Brilliant course. I learnt so much and now have to apply it."
"Thanks for such a rich course."
So... when's the next one then? Well I'm glad you asked! The next 5 week course run of Progressing Your Irish Research Online starts from November 15th, just six months away, but already many students have booked, hence this post - if you'd like to sign up, spaces are already filling up fast.
Here's a short video introducing the material that will be covered:

It's been a lot of fun so far, to the point where I might even consider writing a follow up - but one thing at a time!
I hope to see you in November - and don't forget that I will also be teaching the following Scottish courses this year:
