About
You can present The Family History Guide in a group setting. This can provide a good introduction to the website, and it does not require the attendees to access computers or the Internet.
Note: Although many training approaches rely on slide decks and instructor-prepared handouts, training with The Family History Guide relies on the website itself. Preparing detailed slides and handouts for training with The Family History Guide is not recommended. Instead, you should use the website demo described below, with its associated handout. The overview slide deck we recommend is described below.
