Are you just starting out on your family history journey? Have you been
researching for a while but want to jump start your research with new skills
and resources? Unsure how to navigate the mountains of documents and
details you’ve inherited from relatives? The Texas State Genealogical
Society (TxSGS) understands the challenges beginners and other
researchers face—that’s why we’ve created “Genealogy Essentials,” a
flexible, online program designed with you in mind.
TxSGS is again offering Genealogy Essentials – Course 1, our
comprehensive, eight-session curriculum aimed at beginners and
those who want to review the basic principles necessary to be successful
as a genealogist. The pre-recorded lectures will all be released on
February 2, 2026, allowing students to watch sessions on their schedule.
A homework assignment booklet is included which will help participants
practice what they have learned in the courses. A recording of instructor
interviews addressing frequently asked questions will be available weekly
to provide additional information.
“In designing ‘Genealogy Essentials,’ we aimed to create an accessible,
flexible program that helps participants build a strong foundation in
genealogy,” said Emily Richardson, TxSGS president and course
coordinator. “From understanding basic research concepts to evaluating
sources and organizing family documents, this course empowers learners
to discover their heritage with confidence.”
All participants will enjoy access to the course materials—including
detailed handouts and session recordings—through March 13, 2026,
allowing ample time for review and reinforcement. No prior experience
is required; all you need is a computer with audio.
