Genealogists and family historians enjoy the quest of adding more generations to their family trees. We always face the key questions: But who were their parents? And what was the woman's maiden name? Where did the family come from, where did they move, and why?
If you've been doing genealogy research for some time, you know that solving those genealogy brickwalls takes not only new online databases and books, but also new insights on how to approach our research. Here's where free online classes and lectures can be a big help. They're a great supplement to workshops presented by genealogy societies where you can ask the experts face to face.
Today I watched the three video segments of an excellent presentation by Bernie Gracy, founder of AncestralHunt.com. In them, he discusses how understanding place and geography and demographics can help you find key relationships among your ancestors. Locations – whether a small rural village or a city neighborhood – often influence the selection of marriage partners, and thus genealogy and family history. Proximity in an ancestral location in Europe may well determine proximity in America, for example.
These short videos are among the best genealogy lessons I've seen and heard. They add depth to the insights I gained from Donna Potter Phillips, a genealogist from Spokane, Washington, who gave a very fine workshop on using place in family history research. [See story.] She gave it recently for the Whitman County Genealogical Society.
You can watch these three helpful video segments from Bernie Gracy free on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ancestralhunt
There are many other sources of online genealogy classes, often free. Some are videos, some are text only. Consider using these to help you advance your own research:

– Genealogy Research Classes Online from FamilySearch
Links to other free classes and tips on improving your genealogy research can be found on the Genealogy Resouces page at my website: http://www.workingdogweb.com/Genealogy-Resources.htm
Or try a Google search for the words "genealogy on youtube" with or without the quotation marks to find more classes and videos for genealogy. Or search for genealogy on the YouTube site itself. Here are examples of what comes up:
– Genealogy Gems: http://www.youtube.com/user/GenealogyGems
– Genealogy Guy: http://www.youtube.com/user/GenealogyGuy
Some important topics include using Flash drives to back up all your genealogy documents and pictures including how to find your computer's USB ports; organizing and preserving your genealogy papers materials and resources; and much more.
Here's to great success in finding your family's ancestors by learning new research skills and strategies!

Real-world issues are rare at Comic-Con where fantasy almost always trumps reality. But for the stars and director of "Ender's Game," comments made by Orson Scott Card regarding gay marriage are leading to questions about the issue as they promote the science fiction film.
Card has expressed opposition to gay marriage in the past and that has led some to call for a boycott. There were no signs of protest Wednesday as young stars Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld and the film's director, Gavin Hood, began to promote the sci-fi adventure film. There was a full day of questions ahead, though, as "Ender's Game" took center stage Thursday.
"My view is I've been a member of the Courage Campaign for many years and I'm a little distressed by his point of view on gay marriage," Hood said.
"However, the book is not about that issue, so I hope people can still appreciate the book because I think he wrote a great book, and the themes and ideas in the book, I think, are universal and timeless and applicable, and I hope the book will still be appreciated as a great work of art, even though I don't agree with the author. I optioned the book, not an author, and I love what the author said in that book."
Card turned down an interview request by The Associated Press. He told Entertainment Weekly that the issue is now "moot" given the Supreme Court's recent ruling and, "Now it will be interesting to see whether the victorious proponents of gay marriage will show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them when the issue was still in dispute."
Lionsgate Entertainment also issued a statement rebuking Card's position and said it would hold a benefit premiere to LGBT causes.
Butterfield, who plays the film's title character, said "I agree with rights for everybody" and that Card's views shouldn't change how audiences receive the film or book.
"You can't blame a work for its author," the 16-year-old British actor said.
Hood said the book's themes of kindness and compassion are what drew him to the story, and he was surprised by Card's position.
"I think it's slightly bitterly ironic that those themes that are present in the book are not carried through on his particular view on gay marriage," Hood said.

Mariners Acquire 1B/DH Kendrys Morales from Minnesota for RHP Stephen Pryor
Mariners acquire switch-hitter Kendrys Morales from Twins in exchange for RHP Stephen Pryor.
SEATTLE, Wash. - Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik announced today the club has acquired first baseman/designated hitter Kendrys Morales from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed relief pitcher Stephen Pryor.
Morales, 31, is scheduled to report to the Mariners tomorrow at which time a 25-man roster move will be made. A jersey number will be assigned to him tomorrow.
Morales returns to the Mariners after a brief stint with the Twins. After signing as a free agent with Minnesota on June 8, Morales has appeared in 39 games (28 starts: DH - 26, 1B - 12) and is batting .234 (36x154) with 11 doubles, 1 home run and 18 RBI. He had a 12-game hitting streak (.292/14x48) snapped yesterday going 0-for-4 in the Twins 3-1 win over the Indians.
In 156 games with the Mariners last season Morales led the team in batting average (.277), hits (167), doubles (34), RBI (80), multi-hit games (46) and extra-base hits (57). The 23 home runs established a club record for a switch hitter. In 79 games at Safeco Field he hit .282 (85x301) with 21 doubles, 12 home runs and 41 RBI.
The Cuban native is a career .277 hitter (658x2376) with 141 doubles, 103 home runs and 363 RBI in 659 games with the Angels (2006-2012), Mariners (2013) and Twins (2014).
Pryor, 25, made one appearance for the Mariners this season after opening the season on the disabled list (surgery to repair right latissimus dorsi muscle). He appeared in 34 games with the Mariners from 2012-2014, recording a 2.81 ERA (10 ER, 32.0 IP) with 35 strikeouts (9.8 K/9.0 IP). He was originally selected by the Mariners in the 5th round of the 2010 June Draft out of Tennessee Tech University.
The Mariners 40-man roster is currently at 38 with two players on the 60-day disabled list.
