Course Requirements
You are required to search one side of your grandmother s family and one side of your grandfather s family. You are required to research at least five generations of each side of your family.

You are required to write a paper and a journal about your findings. You will need dedication in order to meet your deadlines and the requirements for the course.
Note: Exception will be made for those that their ancestors did not keep written record and are unable to further their genealogical search.
