Education
The GSSB offers a variety of educational opportunities. They range from bi-annual beginning level genealogy classes to a range of specialized programs, how-to workshops, and advanced studies and seminars, as well as monthly meeting programs
The society also notifies members through it's publications of upcoming non-GSSB training, workshops, seminars, webinars and other learning opportunities that may be of interest to them.
For those new to genealogy, we offer a Basic Genealogy Course. This course is designed to introduce students to the process used in performing genealogical research and to present some of the many valuable research tools available.
The course is taught twice a year, in the Winter and again in the Fall. Classes are normally held at the Melbourne Public Library on Fee Ave., however, we have temporarily suspended in-person winter classes for 2022 due to COVID safety concerns. As an alternative, we are offering an ONLINE Beginner Basic Course.
