Free Online Genealogy Course with FutureLearn (Week 5)

[Ruskie]

 

Thank goodness it is a "work at your own pace course" I am still to finish week 1

Just added to that discussion!

Surprising how many people quote a year of birth as being correct as "It was on the census." No it wasn't, it was on the transcription, the census just gives the age the person completing the form thought that his wife and children were.

You can only like yourself once, I just tried it . If you click like again it removes the first one.

Thanks for the 'link'  KG,  I have just read the discussion and added likes

I've been away since early Monday, so only just done Week 5.  Think I'm rather out of patience with the whole thing, so just really skimmed through it.  Regret that I'll probably do the same with Week 6

I've just added to Carol's post re the absence of the Educators,  so that misinformation given by posters isn't corrected as it has been on other courses.  Let's see if it is removed.

re the absence of the Educators ...

Maybe they've been busy sticking initials on little coloured flags

Just seen the following in the Lost Cousins newsletter:-

'Following the article on my last newsletter I've received a lot of comments, overwhelmingly positive, from members who signed up for the first presentation of this course, which is now in week 5 out of 6.

It is still possible to sign up for the current course, but perhaps more interesting is the link that asks for people interested in the next presentation of the course to register their interest. Find out more here, on the FutureLearn site.'

Obviously they have different expectations to people on here! I unsubscribed from Lost Cousins as I didn't like the attitude of the person who runs it.

I also unsubscribed from Lost Cousins for similar reasons.

Perhaps the folk on here are just more advanced genealogists...

I must say I was hoping to get more out of the course, the DNA was interesting, but still don't think I'll go for it unless sometime far in the future....
