Finding Your Ancestral Village (CD)

Family Tree University Independent Study Course

By Lisa A. Alzo

Format: CD

SKU# X4826

Details

Most genealogists hope to "cross the pond" as quickly as possible—but to do that, you need to know the name of the town or village where your ancestor lived. This course will teach you how identify your ancestor's place of origin, show you the key tools you need to do so and give you an overview of the factors that likely influenced an immigrant's decision to leave home. Each of the four lessons includes an assignment designed to help you progress in tracking the ancestral village of your immigrant ancestor.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • Key immigration time periods and the factors that influenced immigrants to leave their homelands
  • Historical geography, how outside forces influenced place name changes, and terms you need to know
  • How ethnicity and religion can help you track your ancestor
  • Key tools for locating your ancestral town, such as atlases, gazetteers, maps and online resources

    • WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

  • Genealogists with roots in Europe
  • Students who have completed Tracing Immigrants: How to Research Your Family's American Arrivals and want to continue their studies
  • Teachers looking to incorporate US immigration history into their curriculum

    • WHAT YOU'LL NEED: REQUIREMENTS & SUPPLIES

  • To succeed in this class, you should have already identified which ancestor immigrated. If you haven't yet determined the immigrant generation in your family, consider taking the previous course in this series, Tracing Immigrants.
  • This course assumes you understand the basics principles of genealogy and have done some investigation into your family history. If you are a total beginner, consider taking the Discover Your Family Tree course before enrolling in this class.
