I have a deep interest in history and in researching family history for my own family and for others.

I realised I could use my background as a coach in technology industries to show people how to be more effective at using the wealth of data now available, much of it for free. I wrote the book "Discover your ancestors - Genealogy from documents to DNA" and then this course to help others benefit from what I had learned.

There is no better time for starting to research your own family tree. The internet can rapidly open a world of stories that would once have needed weeks in dusty libraries. New techniques such as the use of DNA can even allow you to trace seemingly impossible "missing" ancestors.
