Stirpes March 2024

Solving genealogy problems requires a multi-pronged approach of seeking out new records, understanding the context of those records, and analyzing the information collected to illuminate new connections. As we move through those steps—seeking, understanding, and analyzing—we often discover that we need to gain deeper insights and improve our skills to solve the research challenge we’re facing. Fortunately, genealogy education is often just a click away.

This issue of Stirpes is packed with articles on educational opportunities, virtual and in-person, free or for fee, including podcasts, webinars, study groups, institutes, and more! Learning is the key to your genealogy adventure!
