Genealogy

3-Session Class

Learn how to do your own genealogical research. Registration is required.

In this presentation, we'll discuss the difference between historic and scientific genealogical research and when each should be used; software and research tools will be introduced, and how to verify information. We will also cover potential costs and legal concerns. 

If you think that you may need some assistance to attend one of our classes, we might be able to help with that. Please contact Ray Ceo, our Supervisor of Volunteers, through email at rceo@scottsdaleaz.gov

Registration required. Registrants MUST attend all 3 sessions.
