First check and see where the nearest LDS Family History Center is in your area. They're the best at genealogy in the world and will happily teach you how to document, where to look and what kind of documents you need. Next, check with your local library and see what kind of genealogy resources they have and if they have anyone teaching genealogy research there. Very often you'll find that local genealogy societies or historical societies hold a quarterly or monthly class in research or they'll have research help available on a given day to help local researchers. Lastly, check with your local historical society and see who coordinates the genealogy research in your area. If there's an actual genealogy society, you'll find them affiliating with the Historical Society to make sure their work is cross-promoted. Many towns have an historian available who will also teach genealogy research to individuals and small groups. There are usually 3-4 great places to learn genealogy research.
