Free April Webinars - English Research and DNA Genealogy

 

Family History Library, Salt Lake City

Have you finished watching all the RootsTech videos on your playlist? Well, here are some more free learning opportunities coming up throughout the month of April, from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

In this month alone, in its ongoing programme of webinars, FamilySearch offers standalone presentations on a diverse range of topics, like

☙ Research strategies

☙ Using military records

☙ How to use resources provided by

          Ancestry

FamilySearch

FindMyPast

Some of the webinars use case studies, have questions-and-answer sessions, and focus on research in records from around the world.

And during April, there are two themed days with a series of classes throughout the day: English Research on 23rd April, and Genealogy DNA on the 26th.

The English classes cover how to research using Church of England records, reading handwriting in English records, and provide historical overviews to help put your English research in context.  Most of these are suitable for beginners but there are also presentations pitched at intermediate-level researchers.

For the DNA Day, workshops on offer are all designed to help family historians who are new to this subject.  Scheduled topics include using DNA to determine family relationships, identify unknown parents, and break down brick walls.  This is an ideal event to allow you to brush up on your understanding of the way DNA testing companies present their information, and how to use it to your advantage.

And a bonus with these all-day events is that once you’ve registered for them, you can dip in and out of the timetabled classes as you wish. 

Be sure to work out the time difference from the schedule’s MDT (Mountain Daylight Time) so you don’t miss the presentations you really want to see!
