What Others Say

The course achieved its objectives and was just right, the Internet links were very helpful, the course gave value for money and I would undertake another course with U3A Online. I took this course in the Independent Study mode, so I had no contact with the tutor or other students on the Discussion Board and therefore cannot score any of these items. The links to Australian sites was very useful to someone from the UK.

I downloaded all the U3A course material and am still going through it at my leisure. I felt that $20 was good value for all the information I’ve collected.

Ted was very helpful if we had any problems and was always willing to assist in sorting it out. He was very good at trying to locate people the students had trouble finding on overseas censuses or the like.

Even though I did not contact the Course Leader for help, the Topic Papers I printed off were very informative and set me on the right path so I say thanks to Ted for his knowledge. U3A Online has been a great learning tool and has put me in touch with so many people here and in UK with the same interests as me, looking forward to joining another class.

I have made some valuable internet connections and the course spurred me on to re-commencing my family history - I am now writing it.

I did feel rather 'on my own', but I think that Genealogy would be a difficult subject to connect learners, each person is researching something different.

Very detailed and interesting. Results only limited by one's determination and time spent.

I was very pleased with the course. The fact that it was online allowed me to study at any time of the day (or night).

Very much appreciated. Have been dabbling in genealogy for many years without a great deal of success. Can now approach future research with greater confidence.

I really enjoyed the course it saved me a lot of computer miles. I will continue on with my family tree well into the future.

I was almost overwhelmed by the amount of information given (websites), but will enjoy investigating these in my own time in the future.

I found the course very interesting-it will take me a lot longer to properly utilise all the information given but feel the course has saved me many frustrating hours of searching. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I have done other courses by myself but I found the Course Leader and the Discussion Board very helpful. Living in rural Victoria, I do not have access to good libraries or bookshops, but I managed to find most things in my books or the web sites suggested by the Course Leader, Christine Stirrup.
