Friday Legacy Webinar

The Legacy software company has been producing free webinars available for watching in real time for several years. You must register ahead of time to watch during the presentation, but each webinar is available to view at your leisure for about one week following its appearance. There are advantages to watching at the scheduled time: you can download a handout at the time of the class, and you are invited to ask questions of the speaker afterward. Just be sure to check the time of the presentation in your area. The webinars last about 90 minutes.


Occasionally the Legacy website offers two webinars in one week, and there is an interesting topic on the schedule for tomorrow, Friday, January 16. Marie Pierre-Louis will be talking about "Expanding Your Research from a Single Fact." Her description of the topic follows, and she suggests that it is an "intermediate" level class. This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't watch if you are a beginner; you would certainly gain some new information from listening.


Expanding Your Research from a Single Fact
              
"We all have some ancestors for whom we have very little information. Perhaps we have a death date or a marriage date and nothing else. In this webinar Marian Pierre-Louis shows you how to expand your research from as little as one single fact. She will use multiple examples to show how even the slightest information can lead to new clues and new resources for your research."
