Genealogy classes online

This site has interesting genealogy classes, even classes for specific search areas and genealogy programs. The classes are for a month and they are now starting something new where you work on your own time and email the instructor, with two lessons per week. I have seen some classes I would like to take, one in particular is for Eastern Europe. If you would like to check it out:

A new use for genealogy

Now genealogy is also being used to help coroners with unclaimed persons. There is even a site to sign up to help. So far about 400 people have signed up, and since June 2008, 29 unclaimed persons have been claimed by family that was located by those volunteers.

Fun Link

I got a link to a really cool site, you take your photo, and can add the image to an object like a magazine cover or newspaper or even put someone's head on someone else, etc. This will be fun on scrapping layouts, whether heritage or not.
