Beginners Guides to Genealogy & Family History Research - Part 1 - Online Videos

As promised in an earlier post, I am beginning a series of posts about Beginners Guides to Genealogy & Family History Research.  Part 1 will feature online videos for beginners.

The first video is a simple introduction to family history I found on YouTube,  'Family history - made simple'.



FamilySearch have a collection of Research Classes Online including videos with tips for beginners about research in England, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Mexico, Russia and the USA. There are also videos about 'Reading Handwritten Records' and 'Research Principles and Tools'. Update: 2011, FamilySearch have added new Getting Started videos, also see the FamilySearch YouTube Channel.

FindMyPast.co.uk have a collection of family history video tutorials, relevant to research in the UK.

There are several YouTube Channels which may be of interest to Australian Family Historians.

• National Library of Australia - Trove
• National Library of Australia - including an introduction to the NLA's eResources. 
• Unlock The Past
• State Records of New South Wales
• Public Record Office Victoria

Do you know of any other online videos for family history beginners? If so, I would like to hear about them. Please post a comment if you know of any other useful online videos or YouTube Channels. Thanks.
