1. Our local genealogical society sponsored a webinar for our monthly meeting and it was sooooo helpful!
I'm not in on the technical "how did they do that?" but we watched it, then were able to submit questions, afterward. When I got home, I got the tail-end of another webinar!
2. Webinars aren't always "free", but if you come across something you really want/need to watch, (me in the second instance), you can pay for it and oftentimes, watch it more than once over a period of time.
The particular webinar in the first instance, at the genealogical society meeting: It was given by Michael L. Strauss of Spanish Fork, Utah. His credentials are at this PAGE. You can also watch his webinars at Legacy. Not sure if you have to subscribe for that or not. However, if you choose to be notified when there is an upcoming webinar, go to that Legacy site and register. Non-members can watch for free and instead of getting a syllabus, they can just take notes! Of course, you can always ask for a subscription as a Christmas present, also!
The topic for our webinar at the Genealogical Society for Okaloosa County, Florida: DESCENDANCY RESEARCH: ANOTHER PATHWAY TO GENEALOGY.
This is a topic that I've been interested in and read about in the past. It is basically and hopefully, one way to find living people that are descendants of your ancestors. There is of course, more to it than that. The information I received from Michael was beyond helpful and I now foresee that it might net me some old photographs that I can't locate elsewhere--if I come out of my shell and touch bases with these descendants!
