Course
History Timelines: Family Genealogy
A timeline-centered history course where students connect family tree information with regions, migration, world events, and the wider story around them.
This course
- Students use self-paced work to gather family tree details, places, dates, regions, or approximate timelines
- Weekly live online events build on that work with maps, timelines, discussion, historical context, and research activities
- Students trace where family members or family regions were in the world and what else was happening at the same time
- Family trees, family conversations, records, FamilySearch-style tools, and public sources can all support the work
What families should know
- Students do not need a finished family tree before starting
- A workable starting point is usually names, dates, or places across a few generations, but regions and countries can still be useful when details are limited
- Families may help students gather stories or information if they want deeper involvement
- Research tools and material suggestions vary by session and are shared before kickoff
