20 Danish Research on the Internet
Did you know that Denmark has put their national records online at no cost? Unfortunately, the website is a little difficult to use unless you speak Danish—or take this class which will teach you all the tips you need to know to navigate the website and find your Danish ancestors.

28 Genealogy Standards for Beginners, part II: Making the Grade
Let’s take a look at the broadly accepted standards and practices that make it possible for us to actually “prove” a relationship, produce credible work, and publish accurate findings. This class will cover the Genealogical Proof Standard, writing and citation techniques, and standards for working with DNA results.

Audience Level:  Beginner

29 Netherlands Internet Research
This workshop will provide a brief overview of several online Dutch national, provincial/regional, and city genealogical websites and how to navigate the sites. Time may be provided to actually search for participant family names.

39 Using Technology to “See” Research More Clearly
 Ever ask yourself “how did I miss that?”  We will explore how three simple tech tools -  spreadsheets, mind maps, and timelines - can be used to help us “see” our research more clearly, find previously hidden clues, outline better research plans, reveal relationships, and find “the rest of the story.”

Audience Level:  Intermediate
