 These
are not your normal genealogy training CDs! Not only will you learn
HOW to master Legacy, but you'll learn genealogy PRINCIPLES. For example,
in Legacy for Beginners, not only will you learn how to enter
nicknames, you'll also learn about name variants. Did you know that the
given name Mary has 104 variants: Mabel, Macia, Maija, Manechka, Molly,
Polly, etc? Genealogist, author, and educator, Geoffrey D. Rasmussen, uses
his expertise in genealogy and technology to help you master Legacy and
solidify your research foundation. This series
is designed to help you make the most of your genealogy experience.
Many researchers jump right into the vast world of genealogy, but do not
learn some of the fundamental pieces of the foundation. A large part of
any genealogist's foundation, is their genealogy computer program.
Knowing how to effectively use it, from the beginning, will ensure a solid
foundation. The goal of this training series is two-fold. First, you
will learn how to use the Legacy genealogy software. Second, and perhaps
most important, you will learn various techniques that combine genealogy
principles with your data entry. In other words, these CDs will be full
of real examples that you can apply to your own research problems. For
this reason, a CD which is produced at the beginner's level, will actually
benefit users of all expertise. These CDs are also designed to build on
each other. What you learn in the first CD will help you better
understand the following CDs. If viewed, and practiced in order, you will
be able to spend less time trying to learn how to use the computer, and
more time doing what you love - genealogy!
