Current StLGS Classes
Remaining Classes for Summer 2024
In-person classes at the St. Louis Genealogical Society office are available to both members and non-members of St. Louis Genealogical Society. Classes are free to StLGS members and $30 for non-members. Classes are are also livestreamed via Zoom, but the Zoom presentations and digital recordings are for StLGS members only. If you are not already a member and want to attend a class (or view a recording), join us today to get access to these classes and many other member benefits.
You may register for as many classes as you like, but please only register for each class once. (StLGS Members: If you are registering for a Zoom class but are not logged into the website as a member, you will be re-directed to the login, so be sure you log in first.)
Classes are from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. (Central Time); in-person classes are at the StLGS office in Maplewood.
If you want to attend a class at our office, register online below by clicking the red button, or phone in during office hours (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. until noon, Central time) at 314-647-8547.

Using DNA Testing for Your Research
Jim Brewster, genetic genealogist at FamilyTree DNA
You’ve heard of at-home DNA tests, but what can they actually tell you and how can they help you with genealogy? Join us as we explore the three basic types of DNA: autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-DNA. We will cover testing options, how they differ, and which one might be the best for your needs.

Advanced Legacy Family Tree (Genealogy Software for PC only)
Cathy Amen, StLGS volunteer
If you have been using Legacy and want to use its advanced features, this class is for you. Topics will include special tools, advanced reports, using hashtags and tags, and advanced searching as well as other topics not included in the Legacy class. (Although not a requirement, it would be helpful to view the Legacy Family Tree, Version 10 class, presented on 20 July 2024. If you missed that class, you can watch the recording by going to the “Recorded Classes” page on our website.)
