Legacy Webinars
We will be away from the computer June 27-July 15, so I'm posting the next two Legacy webinars here.
The topic for June 26 concerns genealogy and the law: "How Knowing the Law Makes Us Better Genealogists." Knowing the laws that affected our ancestors will help to make sense of the records and find clues to more records.
Anyone who is researching Canadian ancestors or who has "border crossers" will be interested in the July 10 presentation: "Canadian Ports of Entry: Ship Passenger Lists, Immigration Records, and Border Crossing Records." The presenter will focus on strategies for searching the available websites.

Legacy Webinar
Legacy's presentation for Wednesday, June 12, is called "Get What You Came For" and is focused on improving search results on GenealogyBank.com, the subscription newspaper site. GenBank has released a series of targeted search pages: for example, you can search just for probate records, or just for marriage announcements.
If you've been wondering whether a subscription would be worthwhile, this class might help you to decide.
