Genealogy workshops start in January

Fran McFarland's genealogy research workshops are popular for their hands-on approach to learning. Over two days, students will learn about the cultural differences between klawaiian and Western genealogical standard practices and visit the klawai'i State Archives, klawai'i State Library, First Circuit Court Records and Bureau of Con-

veyance. McFarland, a member of the Utah Genealogical Association, has helped people research their roots to find missing branches of their family tree or establish blood quantum for Flawaiian-entitlement programs. Classes are held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays in the Kana'ina Building on the 'Iolani Palaee grounds. The $75 fee includes instruction, syllabus and workbook. Students must sign up for both days. The 201 1 schedule is as follows: Jan. 6 and 13; 20 and 27; Feb. 3 and 10; 17 and 24; March 3 and 10; (skip 17); 24 and 31; April 7 and 14; 21 and 28; May 5 and 12; 19 and 26; June 2 and 9; 16 and 23 (no class on 30); July 7 and 14; 21 and 28; Aug. 4 and 11; 18 and 25; Sept. 1 and 8; 15 and 22 (no class on 29); Oct. 20 and 27 only.
