BASIC GENEALOGY CLASSES  (click link for more info)
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 second online basic course is scheduled to begin October 5th, 2021 from 7pm to 8pm, for 8 weeks (ends Nov. 23).  Class size is limited so the instructor can provide more personal attention.  Pre-registration and payment is required. Email Contact@GSSB.net with questions or to request registration. Payment may be made by non-members by check or online after registering by purchasing a membership ($25 by check or $26.50  online credit card via paypal)
