Homework:
1. Find a pedigree that will work for your four-generation project, and research it.
2. Purchase or check out from a library these genealogical reference books, which we will refer to during class this year:
Val Greenwood, The Researcher’s Guide to American Genealogy (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1990)
Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1997) or Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2007)
Elizabeth Shown Mills, Professional Genealogy (Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2001)

I attended the Fast Track class today. So many good helpful tips.

The British Experience Table is close but not yet done. I suggest referring to the US/Canada Experience Table and Rate-Your-Application sheet.

I know this might be asking for a miracle, :) but is there any chance the British forms (application & rate-your-own) will be available before SLC's fast track class tomorrow? Since we're supposed to print them and take them in, I'd like to be prepared for class.
If the British forms are not available in time, should I print and bring in the US/Can forms, or could I just refer to the electronic US/Can form I've saved to my laptop?

Two of the Provo classes will meet tomorrow (9 Feb). Our topic will be "Choosing A Project". Come prepared to learn more!

DeAnn, yes, the classes in the Church Museum are the regular classes. The difference between fast track and regular is that in fast track, we'll be covering about 3 regular class sessions in one fast track session. That's part of the reason we have a two-hour session. We should be done with the whole course by about April, instead of in one year.
I think the other significant difference between the two classes is the student's current progress. If a person has completed their required research / education hours, is comfortable writing research reports, and is just about ready to apply for testing, they are in a better position to take the fast track class. Those who are just starting their research / education, need practice writing research reports, and are still a ways out from applying will find the regular class better suited to their needs.

I just realized that my last question was answered, I think. The classes held in the Church Museum are at 10:30 -11:30 and 12 to 1. Are these the regular classes? What is the difference between fast track and the regular classes of what will be taught this week? I did notice there was a shorter class time for the regular class compared to the fast track. What else is different?

Tristan's 2nd-most-recent post says of the regular classes, "SLC: Church History Museum auditorium, Wednesday, 10:30-11:30am and 12-1pm (choose one class time to attend)." I am assuming that means this Wednesday, 2/10. (I'm in the fast track class, so I haven't closely followed the regular class dates.) Enjoy! :)

If I just want to go to the regular classes, when are they in Salt Lake, Tristan only mentioned the fast track class in Salt Lake, When are the regular ones in Salt Lake?
