Legacy Webinar for Beginners

Legacy is presenting a series of webinars for beginning genealogists. If this

is of interest, mark your calendars for April 1 for Part 1, May 6 for Part 2 

and June 3 for Part 3. You can watch in real time if you register ahead 

(and also download a handout), or check in at your leisure anytime for a

week following the presentations. Find more information or register at 

www.familytreewebinars.com. The description of the first session follows:

Genealogy 101, a 3-Session Course in Beginning Genealogy - Part 1

"We all have an aunt or a grandmother that has a shoebox full of obituaries, funeral cards, or other old documents that sit on a dresser or closet shelf. Or, perhaps we are that person with the shoebox. These beginning genealogy sessions will show how to take what you know and what you have access to, and teach the steps involved in getting it organized and compiled into a useful genealogy that can benefit future generations. 

 

Session 1 - Getting Started on the Right Foot. All of us know at least a bit of information about our family. It may be something we have heard, or something we have and don't know how it can help us. We will start out learning about information from an obituary, and entering the facts into the Legacy Family Tree software."
