Two of Legacy Family Tree Webinars’ free virtual presentations this week concern researching in national archives, one in the United States and one in England.
Today, December 15, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, Julie Miller will deliver the presentation, Navigating the NARA Website.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) website has a wealth of resources that can be used for genealogical research. Information about records located at NARA in Washington, DC, and the NARA regional branches is online and waiting for you to discover them. Some of the actual records are even online and don’t require a visit. This lecture will guide you through the different areas of the website, show the resources available there, and how to use those resources for your research. Register to watch the live presentation.
On Friday, December 17, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, Paul Milner will deliver Effective Use of England’s National Archives Website, the last presentation in this year’s O Canada series.
Learn how to effectively use the research tools, indexes and catalogs on this large website to find your ancestors and to put them into their correct historical context. Register to watch the live presentation.
Both webinars will be available to watch for free for up to seven days afterward in the webinar library.
