We genealogists have the reputation of being somewhat frugal. To save money, we take advantage of every free-access weekend, free online database, and free webinar — anything to avoid spending a dime. When we do spend a dollar, we make sure we get our money’s worth.
Legacy FamilyTree’s latest offer to entice genealogists to spend $49.95US (about $65 CDN) or $9.95 US a month ($13 CDN) for an annual subscription to webinars may encourage us to pull out our credit card. Here’s why.
This summer, in addition to its members-only webinar series, Legacy will offer five members-only in-depth series.
For example, starting July 18, Legacy webinar subscribers will be able to “attend” six classes by Ireland’s best-known genealogist, John Grenham. Mr. Grenham is the author of the genealogical standard, Tracing Your Irish Ancestors.
His six classes include:
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 1: The Raw Materials of Irish Genealogy
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 2: The Major Records I – General Register Office
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 3: The Major Record II – Censuses
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 4: The Major Record III – Church Records
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 5: The Major Record – 19th Century Property Records
Foundations of Irish Genealogy 6: Bringing the Major Records Together
The following classes are also part of the summer in-depth series:
Melissa Barker — Researching in Archives (5 classes)
Thomas MacEntee — Getting Started with Microsoft PowerPoint (10 classes)
Blaine Bettinger — Foundations in DNA (5 classes)
Gena Philibert-Ortega — Researching in California (4 classes)
The subscription also gives you access to all 363 classes in the Legacy webinar library, including all handouts. Learn more here.
I love my webinar subscription! I listen to them on my lunch break from work as I walk around the nearby Muskoseepi Park. It is one of my most often used genealogy resource.
The Legacy webinar subscription is oh-so worth the price! Top quality presenters, excellent presentations, on so many different topics. An ongoing year-long genealogy education. I highly recommend it.
