Toronto: July 23, 2010

Louise St. Denis, Managing Director of the
National Institute for Genealogical Studies, has just announced that
the Institute continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary this year by
offering Intensive Short Courses.

Taught by experts in their fields, most of these courses will be four
weeks in length. And you can have up to four real-life meetings with
your instructors, if you wish.

These courses will be packed with useful information—like research
techniques and tips—and they are inexpensive - under $50.00 each.

Right now, the Institute has five courses starting in August.

They are -

Brick Wall Research - (Intermediate)
Investigate: Adoption Records - (Basic)
Investigate: Lost Friends and Family Records - (Basic)
Research: Female Ancestors - (Intermediate)
Research: African-American Ancestors - (Intermediate)

A number of regular courses on Canadian records are also starting in August.

They include -

Canadian: Census Records - Part 2 - (Intermediate)
Canadian: Land Records - Part 1 - (Basic)

All courses start August 2nd, 2010.
