The FamilySearch Family History Library is now making its popular classes available at FamilySearch.org, where anyone anywhere in the world can access them for free at a time that is convenient for them.
FamilySearch is continually adding new online offerings. Classes on how to read English handwritten records are currently in development. All of the classes can be accessed on www.familysearch.org by clicking on Free Online Classes on the home page.
FOOTNOTE
Unlike any other historical collection on the web, the Interactive Census Collection has the unique ability to connect people related to ancestors found on the historical documents. Simply by clicking the Im Related button for a name on the document will identify you as a descendent and also list others that have done the same. Never before has it been as easy to connect with distant relatives through historical documents. Finding a record featuring an ancestors name provides not only an emotional experience but also a connection with the past. On Footnote.com it’s more than just finding a name on a census record. Interactive tools allow people to enhance the documents by adding their own contributions including:

Family History: Genealogy Made Easy Podcast Episode 44
From Tim. A Question
Henry Culbertson Wood who was orphaned at a young age.
His Mother died when he was less than a year old. His father and Mother were never Married and his Father disappeared. He lived with some people for a time then went to Hillside Mission Indian school in Skiatook, OK. (Possibly an Orphanage for Indians.) Henry was born in 10 Jan 1879 in Indian Territory around what is now Checotah, OK and died 13 Aug 1948 in Kellyville, OK. According to Dawes papers his Mother's name is Martha J Rowland or Rolin, both spelling are in the Dawes Papers and He said he thinks his father's name was Henry Wood. He applied and added his Daughter Ora in 1901.

GEM: Fess Parker Tribute
It was almost exactly a year ago that Darby Hinton who played Fess Parker’s son in the Daniel Boone series was on Genealogy Gems Podcast episode #60. Darby Hinton shared his admiration for Fess. My prayers goout to Darby and his family who I know will miss Fess Parker in a very personal way. He was a big man!
