Gold LEAF Institute Course Catalogue

In-Person

If you've wondered about who your grandparents, great-grandparents, and more ancestors were, where they came from, and how they ended up in your hometown, but you didn't know how to find out, this course is for you.

Claudia Bell has been doing genealogy research for almost 50 years. She will help you get started finding those generations, and give you ways to organize your notes.

Today technology makes it easier to research, but even if you don't have a computer, you can find your ancestors.

The course will meet twice. The first class will give some paths to pursue in your search; the second class will discuss your results and answer questions.

Claudia Bell began doing family history research in the 1970s before technology was accessible to all. She spent hours in county courthouses and libraries, and corresponding with relatives.

She has worked on ten of her own family histories, and seven of her husband's. In addition, she answers queries about genealogy for the Farmington Historical Society, and she's a member of the Sandy River Genealogy Society in Franklin County.
