Getting Started: Record Types

Moving beyond the general search feature on family history websites and databases necessitates familiarizing yourself with different record types and how to read them. In this session, attendees will learn what record types exist in different times and places, how to access those records, and what details they include.

This beginner-level session is sponsored by the BYU Family History Program.
