My Genealogy DO-Over – A Year of Learning from Research Mistakes – free webinar by Thomas MacEntee now online for limited time

Logowhite

Another webinar for the ages by Thomas MacEntee today! The recording of today's webinar, "My Genealogy DO-Over – A Year of Learning from Research Mistakes" by the great Thomas MacEntee, is now available to view for free at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for a limited time. Lots of great comments:

  • Wonderful! I really enjoy hearing Thomas speak. I'm so glad he admits his past bad habits. I think pretty much every genealogist started out doing things wrong. And now he's leading us to do it right.
  • Thomas laid out a clear roadmap for how to do a reset and restart your genealogy to exploit everything you've learned about capturing accurate information and citing sources — "if only I knew then what I know now."  In addition to the roadmap, he has so many useful tools, including his facebook group specifically for a do-over. Even if you don't want to do a complete reset, there are so many ideas and tools in this webinar, you will find something that will recharge your research.
  • Legacy gives the BEST webinars ever. And today's was one of the best of the best.

    Heather, yes it was a great webinar! While we’d love to be able to give away everything for free, the webinar memberships permit us to both pay the bills for hosting, broadcasting, advertising, speaking, etc. and still provide the live webinars for free. The recordings are also free for about the first week so you are welcome to view it as many times as needed during that period. I hope this helps some.

    Great webinar!! Couldn’t make it live due to work, but recording mentioned 7 pages of handouts. Wow… Can you give explanation for why syllabus is not free for week that recording is free (or link to where this issue was already addressed)? I cannot afford to become a member even for a month to get these types of handouts. Feel that latecomer viewers are being penalized for not being able to attend live. Thank you.
