Legacy Family Tree Webinars has three webinars this week that will help genealogists with their research and writing projects. All of the live presentations are free to watch, and the recordings will be available to watch for free in the webinar library for up to seven days afterward.
And for those who say they don’t have Mexican ancestry, you can dream about doing research under the warm sun.

Historical fiction and social history can provide context and enhance your writing. A handout is available for Legacy Family Tree Webinars subscribers. This webinar is sponsored by the Board for Certification of Genealogists. Register here.
