Technology has revolutionized family history research—allowing us to access billions of records from the comfort of our homes and to store and organize countless files digitally. But with cutting edge tools and resources emerging all the time, it can be difficult to know where to start or how to keep up!
Each week during this online seminar you will receive access to recorded lectures and step-by-step video demonstrations to help you understand how to take advantage of our recommended websites and tools. You can view these materials in your own time and at your own pace during the week so that you can digest the material and formulate your questions. Then, log on to our weekly, live Q&A session with the instructors—you can use this time to ask follow up questions, request further demonstrations, and more.
