The Oakland Regional Family History Center holds free classes for staff and patrons each month September through May. Classes are 1 to 1 1/2 hours long. There may be a nominal charge to cover the cost of handouts. Chinese Assistance and PAF Database cleanup are available by appointment.
Classes
Regularly scheduled formal classes are on hiatus for the summer, and will resume in September. A schedule of classes will be posted in August.
On-Going Classes:
New Family Search
Personal Assistance with New Family Search is always available. Please come in and ask for help whenever you have a problem.
PAF Database Cleanup
A number of errors can creep into a PAF database both through program problems when the match merge feature is used and through mistakes made as new users learning the ins and outs of the program. These errors can be as simple as duplicated entries, multiple marriages with unknown spouses, unconnected individuals, and incomplete place names, or more complex problems. We now offer personal help in cleaning up your database, and if you are LDS, updating temple ordinance information. Contact Rich McCartney (email: mrgenealogy@gmail.com) for an appointment and free your database of all these unwanted and perhaps unseen problems.
