Introduction Course
Currently we offer an Introductory Course for those new to family history.
Description
This course typically runs as a four half-day course (approx. 13 hrs) covering the basic elements of researching family history. It is intended as a starting point for researchers to gain initial success, and to enable them to determine the more in-depth material that may be available to them. The course runs both as a classroom style and online format.
Auckland classroom venues typically are the Panmure FRC, Birkenhead Library, East Coast Bays Library and Whangaparaoa Library. Dates for these venues are based on availability and cost, and generally run during daytime hours.
