Introduction to Genealogy credit:

Introduction to genealogical research equips students with the skills to reconstruct family histories through archival research, oral history collection, and evidence-based analysis. Students will learn to critically examine and synthesize genealogical records, oral accounts, and historical data to construct family histories and explore patterns in kinship, migration, and cultural identity. Students will also develop professional writing skills to produce clear, well-supported genealogical reports. No prior experience is required; basic computer skills are recommended.
