According to the Conference Keeper calendar, there are about two dozen virtual genealogy presentations taking place tomorrow, Thursday, January 20, and I took note of three of them to share here.
Each of these presentations will likely be recorded and made available a few weeks afterward.
Take note of the different time zones.

Changing Places, Changing Borders: Overcoming geographic challenges with Dave Obee at the BYU Family History Library
Yes, it has been possible to be born in one country, get married in another, and die in a third — without ever leaving your home. The boundaries in Eastern Europe have been redrawn many times over the years, presenting challenges for modern-day genealogical researchers. But this phenomenon has not been confined to that area; even Canada has seen at least 50 boundary revisions between its provinces and territories. When jurisdictions have changed, it is especially important to learn how to interpret and record information.
No registration required. Click on this link at the time of the webinar to watch via Zoom.
