Welcome to Pharos Teaching and Tutoring
Online Courses in Genealogy and Family History
** New courses in our list for Summer 2009**
and we welcome four new teachers, plus a course from the Society of Genealogists
At Pharos we are specialists in online learning. Our teachers are professional genealogists with many decades of teaching experience, led by Sherry Irvine, one of the world's leading experts in teaching genealogy courses online.
Together we want to help you become a better genealogist. We can't promise that you will find all those elusive ancestors. That's up to you. But we can promise that one of our courses will equip you with the most up to date methods to expand your family tree.
With an online course in genealogy, it is not where you live that makes a difference, it's what you want to to learn!
Take a Pharos course and discover:
- More about the historical background to your ancestors' lives
- How to search effectively, online and offline
- Where to find the best free genealogy indexes and fully searchable resources
- How to make the best use of your time
- How to save money
Come and browse the website, read our testimonials, email us with your queries - we are here to help.
Courses on English & Welsh genealogy, Irish genealogy and Scottish genealogy available.
