Recorded Versions of My Hispanic Genealogy Study Group with DearMYRTLE are Available for Viewing

If you didn’t get to attend the live versions of the 2-part online Hispanic Genealogy Research study group that I did with DearMYRTLE this month, or you did join us live, but want to watch again, you can now watch both parts online for free via DearMYRTLE’s YouTube channel.

These study group is not a series of formal traditional webinar lectures. Instead it provides a more casual guided active learning activity, where I explain and Myrt demonstrates different concepts, record collections, search strategies, and methodology tips.

You can access and download a copy of the class spreadsheet from Google Drive. That spreadsheet includes links to all of the resources and examples covered in this series (look for the different tabs for Week 1 and Week 2).
