September Webinars

The recent sale of Legacy to My Heritage does not seem to have caused any change in the webinar schedule. Check www.familytreewebinars.com for more information about this month's selections.


Wednesday, September 6: Geoff Rasmussen's topic, "Top Tech Tips for the Technologist and the Genealogist" will provide tools for computer genealogy time. All levels of experience will benefit.


Wednesday, September 13: "Finding Isaac Rogers" by Nicka Smith will show "how a book, scant clues, crowd sourced research, and limited online records came together to make ancestral ties to the Trail of Tears, US Civil War, a hanging judge, an outlaw, and of slavery in the Cherokee Nation." This case study is at a beginner level.


Friday, September 15: "The ABCs and 123s of Researching Your Ancestor's School Records" by Melissa Barker is for all levels and will show what types of school records there are and how to find them in repositories.


Tuesday, September 19: "When Does Newfound Evidence Overturn a Proved Conclusion?" by Tom Jones will discuss options when useful information or DNA test results appear after a researcher establishes a conclusion. Intermediate and experienced researchers will find this most helpful.


Wednesday, September 20: Thomas MacEntee will present "Wolfram Alpha for Genealogists." MacEntee says that Wolfram Alpha provides solutions to questions such as “How am I related to my great-grandmother’s niece” or “What was the time of the sunrise on April 1, 1962, in Chicago, Illinois?” Learn how this unique site can expand your genealogy and family history research. The topic is at a beginner level.


Wednesday, September 27: "Quick Guide to Texas Research" by Deena Coutant is for beginners and will give an introductory look at the records and repositories useful for research in Texas.
