Legacy Webinars

Wednesday, December 17, Mary Kircher Roddy will present a talk on searching for living relatives who might be able to help you find new information. Roddy says her talk is suggested for intermediate and experienced researchers and describes her presentation as follows:


Bagging a Live One - Connecting with Cousins You Never Knew You Had
               

"Bagging a live one is often a bigger rush than finding the dead ones. Bagging a live one who knows something about family history is gold. In this webinar Mary will show how you can find distant relatives, perhaps ones you never knew existed. Rather than trolling surname or location lists for other researchers with a common interest, you will come away with the skills to identify specific people to look for. These people may not be active researchers, but might be the ones who inherited the family bible or box of photos, or maybe they can pass on some stories Grandma told them. Collecting and organizing the bits of data – a birthdate, a location, a maiden name – will help you connect with a “new” cousin. If you are as lucky as Mary has been, some of these new cousins will soon become old friends."

Last week Legacy presented a webinar specifically for those interested in North Carolina research. This webinar will be available for viewing at your leisure through Wednesday, December 17 and was geared toward beginning and intermediate researchers. Description follows below.
