What Students Think

This is a lot of fun for me, because I haven't studied or taken exams for many years. This is a great course, and the material is fabulous. Thanks.

I've found these courses to be interesting and challenging. Each course has opened up a new perspective on genealogy for me!
 -Linda Christensen, Preston, Connecticut

I can't say enough on how much I enjoy the online structured environment. I've taken courses before but nothing like this. I'm going for my Certificate. Thank You!
