FHC Lesson Manuals

 Lesson Manuals - I have been developing training modules for family history classes for a few years now and have seen the need to provide these modules to the rest of the family history community. I will be posting links to my various class modules on this web site. All of these modules are sized to take approximately 45 minute to teach. They are intended to be general in nature and are to be used as introductions to the various topics. These are ideal for Sunday school lessons or even staff training. If you feel that these are useful please give me credit as the source.
