Update: New Practice Exercises in The Family History Guide

The Practice Exercises in The Family History Guide offer a simple yet effective way to help you explore a variety of record collections around the world. Each exercise has a problem statement with three research questions and a QUIKLink to a record collection, hints for working with the records, and the answers to the questions. You can see more information in the Practice Exercises page in The Family History Guide, which includes a spreadsheet with links to all pages on the website that have Practice Exercises.

As of this writing, we now have 426 Practice Exercises, in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, with more to come. Here’s a recap of the latest additions:
