ISBGFH 2023 Courses


Course 1: Once More unto the Breach: English Research - Sponsored by Family Search, Presented by Kori Robbins, AG® & Dan Poffenberger, AG®

Join us as we explore the most effective ways to further your knowledge of family history research in England at the FamilySearch Library. We'll quickly cover the basics and then dive deep into sources, resources, methods, and strategies. Expect hands-on sessions that allow attendees to learn while using Library resources.

Course 2: Irish Law and Government Documents
Presented by David E. Rencher, AG®, CG®, FUGA, FIGRS & Rick Sayre, CG®, CGLSM, FUGA

Join instructors David E. Rencher and Rick Sayre for an exciting course of instruction digging into the law and government documents of Ireland! This updated course from 2016 includes seven new sessions and updated information to the prior course, including a master bibliography.

Course 3: Scottish Research: The Fundamentals and Beyond
Presented by Paul Milner, FUGA, MDiv.

Scottish laws, regulations and records are different than those for the rest of the British Isles, and certainly different than in the United States. Yet there are enough similarities to create confusion for the unwary. In this course, we will address the fundamentals of all the major record groups, examining where to find and how to search the indexes and exploring what is and is not available online. 

Course 4: The Genealogist's Guide to the Technology Galaxy - Sponsored by MyHeritage. Presented by Thomas MacEntee

As you work through your genealogy research projects, do you sometimes have trouble managing technology? Perhaps you don’t know how to start your journey or the best route to take? What about the tools you need for your online research trip? Confused as to what works best and what should be avoided?
