Legacy Family Tree Webinars wants to do its part to help genealogists across the world who are self-isolating at home right now. While we can't do your grocery shopping or other practical activities, perhaps a genealogy class each day during the month of April will help as a diversion.
Each day we'll be unlocking one Legacy Family Tree webinar from the membership library to be available to watch for free. We've chosen the classes around a 7-day rotating theme:
- Sundays – Methodology
- Mondays – DNA
- Tuesdays – Ethnic Genealogy
- Wednesdays – Technology
- Thursdays – Around the Globe
- Fridays – Beginners
- Saturdays – TechZone
The entire list of webinars follows below both as a daily schedule and category list.
Already a webinar member? You'll continue to receive members-only new content each week. Specifically, look for the new DNA videos from the recent Genetic Genealogy Ireland in-person conference. We've just added "Introducing Y-DNA for autosomal DNA testers" by Donna Rutherford. Enjoy!
Plan to put Legacy Family Tree on your calendar each day in April. Maybe you'll learn a tip or skill that will help you break through your brick wall!

Hi Elaine – you might follow the Legacy Family Tree Facebook group at either https://www.facebook.com/groups/LegacyUserGroup or https://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree/ where, and this blog at http://news.legacyfamilytree.com where we post things immediately. Because of email transmission times, receiving the email the day it is sent by us is sometimes not possible. Hopefully you’ll still be able to enjoy the rest of the month.
