Update: Ancestry Academy Videos

Ancestry Academy has published training videos on a wide variety of genealogy topics. many of which are linked from The Family History Guide. You may not be aware that recently Ancestry Academy has made some changes in their video catalog. Here’s a summary:

  • The URL formats for most of the articles have changed. The new URLs are included in The Family History Guide, so the links work properly.
  • Most of the longer videos have been divided into shorter segments. For example, a video on the U.S. Census that was previously 50 minutes long is now divided into segments of about 4 minutes each. In the family History Guide, some of these segment videos have been linked, while in other cases the link now goes to the collection of videos.
  • Links to new videos in the Ancestry Academy have also been added.

In The Family History Guide, you’ll recognize links to Ancestry Academy videos by the “AAC” designation in the link titles.
