How can this Masterclass help you?

Ancestry is one of the main platforms genealogists use when researching their family history but are you getting the most out of it?

In the recorded webinars, Karen focuses on:

• making the tree tools work for you
• powering up your searches
• and troubleshooting those areas that seem to cause confusion. Karen will be offering practical hints and tips, her own ideas and research tactics learned from using Ancestry over many years
