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.
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.
This 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 classes for the 2021 year due to safety concerns over COVID-19. As an alternative, we are offering an ONLINE Beginner Basic Course.
** The first online basic course is scheduled to begin February 9th, 2021 from 7pm to 8pm, for 8 weeks. Class size is limited so the instructor can provide more personal attention.
