Hello,
Tucked away in the MeL eResource
HeritageQuest Online (a ProQuest product) is a wonderful
Learning Center that researchers and library staff alike will find informative and useful when undertaking genealogy research projects. Over 60 videos at 3 skill levels – Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced – walk
researchers through topics such as the process of determining what records to use, how to understand the information that’s found, how to find missing links, and how to utilize special record sets – military, homestead, church records, even tombstones. These
videos have been created by knowledgeable individuals and organizations including Midwest Genealogy Center, Library of Congress, FamilySearch (a service of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), Afro-American
Historical & Genealogical Society, and Association of Professional Genealogists (APG). Click on any one of the 6 sections found on the
HeritageQuest Online homepage to reach a link for the
Learning Center. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.
MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.
