5 Minute Internet Genealogy Video Lessons by Robert Ragan

	The "Very Best of" of Robert Ragan's tips, tricks, and family tree research secrets and methods, that you can enjoy in 5 minute segments.
	INTRODUCING Robert Ragan's Brand NEW...
	"5 Minute Internet Genealogy Video Lessons" 17 FIVE MINUTE time-saving genealogy, online family tree research and computer tips that show how to supercharge your genealogy research... and will work with any of the surnames you are researching - from any geographic areas that your ancestors came from. A Personal Invitation From Robert Ragan: Dear Fellow Genealogy Researcher, Treasure Maps Reader, Long-Time Friend and Students, Since 1995, I've had the honor of writing hundreds of genealogy articles and tips in the Treasure Maps genealogy e-mail newsletter and for the Treasure Maps how-to genealogy site. I've also written, self-published and produced about a dozen how-to genealogy research guides in print and on video CDs that you watch on your computer screen, click on the pause button, and then try the methods for yourself. And although both of the in-print guides (that had a lot of computer screen shots in the printed courses) and video CD courses have received amazing reviews and feedback from those who have used them, the video course format on CDs has been, by far, the most effective teaching tool. Think about it: If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video that shows how to do something, step-by-step and with a pause button is worth a million words. Not just a "rehash" or updated... There is NEW stuff too! Yes, these lessons are indeed the "best of the best" tips and methods from the massive amount of valuable information from my guides, courses and articles from 1995 to now. And yes, some of the lessons have been updated because of changes over the years on the Internet. But if I'm finding things I've forgotten--good stuff, that works well as a video segment and is in line with the list I mentioned--then, there is a good chance that any long-time readers and students have forgotten as well. I promise that not only are many of the tips, etc. updated...but they are better than ever in this video format. Keep in mind that even if you have every course or guide that I ever done, there are plenty of NEW things that I will be sharing with you, that you've never seen before. NEW - And easy-find MENU BAR on the side of the video screen. Even if you have seen any of my other video courses you have not yet seen this great feature. The menu bar on the side of the screen allows you click on any one of the 5 minute lessons and start from that point. See for Yourself - Here's a Sneak Peak: This is from the first of 17 lessons: Genealogy Search Basics This is from the second lesson: Genealogy Search Variant Surnames NOTE: This 5 minute video lesson was awarded in DearMYRTLE's "The BEST of the Internet for Genealogists – 5 April 2008 awards" in the Video category. Myrt said: "VIDEO: Robert Ragan’s “Genealogy Search Variants” explains the use of various search modifiers when using Google to locate genealogy pages. Find more from Robert at http://5minutegenealogy.com . Here the “5 minute” doesn’t mean a quick fix, but a quick lesson." Remember - YouTube shrinks down their videos and you lose a lot of quality. The "5 Minute Genealogy" video on CDs course looks great, and they display even bigger than the screen shots below... Here are screen shots from the lessons on Disk ONE and Disk TWO: Note: These screen shots are much smaller than the actual size. So, you don't have time to do your genealogy? Well, now you do! ALL of these five minute computer-friendly video lessons will make you a better online genealogy researcher. All you have to do is pick any 5 minute lesson and run with it. This truly does "break it down to a little bit at a time" as mentioned on the list. You can have success in no time! You will discover easy ways to trace your roots online, manage the information that you find, and double your effectiveness.

	A quick note about the videos on CDs: Nothing gets installed on your computer. The lessons are all on the CDs. They will work on your computer no matter what connection speed to the Internet you have, because the videos are on the CDs themselves, not the Internet. And Please Remember... Many of my techniques are unique and exclusive. You will NOT see many of the things I’ll show you on the Internet or in a book somewhere. This is an awesome way to learn.

	My best to you and yours, as always, P.S. To long-time readers of my Treasure Maps genealogy newsletter and students who have gotten guides and courses from me before (who know that I will not steer you wrong), you want to act on my advice and look seriously into this. I believe that this is one of my best products to date. P.P.S. Bonus Lesson! Here's another one of my videos on YouTube about using a feature on the Google Toolbar for genealogy searches. It is not part of the 5 Minute Genealogy course, but it has helped over 13,700 people on YouTube so far! Enjoy... I've been carefully going through my past 12 years worth of articles, manuals, guides and courses and putting the very best of the best helpful tips, lessons and methods into FIVE MINUTE videos lessons... While doing this, I've made some interesting discoveries... Embarrassing but true (it seems my memory is slipping a bit as I get older): There are some wonderful tips and lessons in some of my older manuals that I have flat-out forgotten. I've rediscovered some of my own valuable tips and concepts that are perfect for these 5 minute video lessons. Because of the changing genealogy world on the Internet, I've UPDATED some of the methods and they are better than ever. *I found a very* special list I created years ago. Here it is, exactly as I typed it way back when... I have taught many genealogy/computer classes in my time and I always ask the class "What do you really want?" Here is the list: What the Genealogy Classes said they wanted: How to write a pedigree chart and family group sheets. What is my first problem to solve? How to EXACTLY apply this information to ME! How did you handle problems? What were the steps that you took? We might come across the same problem. How to organize existing information (hard copy, on disk and computer, GEDCOM files, etc.). Again, personal association of buzz words (example: What has the Soundex got to do with me?) How the ACTUAL APPLICATION (on paper, on computer) works. Most of them were VISUAL LEARNERS and want to see exactly how to do it. Past the pedigree chart - Where, What How? HANDS ON EXPERIENCE!!! Not a lecture. Break down to a little bit at a time. The new "5 Minute Internet Genealogy Video Lessons" covers this list in almost every respect. The 5 minute segments do break things down into manageable, time-saving tips. The 5 minute genealogy lessons are perfect for visual learners because now, with this special video technology, I can share with you great quality videos that shows action on my computer screen as you follow along step-by-step on your computer screen, and you want to see all of these helpful 5 minute video lessons. You get the hands on experience. This video format is the very best way to teach you--even better than in a seminar setting. Why? Because it is so easy for you to watch and follow along with the videos. You watch the videos on your computer screen, then click the PAUSE button whenever you want. Then, when you are ready to move on, you click the PLAY button and continue the lessons. You can do as much or little as you want to, whenever you want to. These 5 minute lessons will show you how to exactly apply the tips, tricks, and methods to you and your research situation. Finding this actual typed list,** which has been my personal guideline in the past (and I've always kept in the back of my mind), has helped me to sharpen my focus even more for now and always. I've been referring to it often as I've worked on this new project - and will read it before I write any article, tip or create any video lessons from here on out. I will also add to the list as I get feedback from newsletter readers and students.
