You register for the webinar here. Legacy's usually take place on a Wednesday, and because of the different time zones, although they hold them during the North American afternoon, that translates into 7pm for me. They send you a special link, which you click on at the start time, and a webinar usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours. It is in their (free) archive on the web and can be watched again and again as many times as you like FOR A WEEK. Then it goes into their paid archive and you have to be a member of their special site at familytreewebinars.com.

Oh we have to take webinars but that is for our work so I know about them but didn't even think that there would be webinars for this and that sounds really interesting to check out. There is so much to check out!:)
ReplyDeleteDo check them out. There are some fascinating topics. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAh, but which North American afternoon? Usually that translates (for me) to New York time, which makes it too early for us west coasters. Sometimes.

They are usually 2.0 to 3.30 Eastern. BTW, just visited your blog as part of the A-Z Challenge.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Thank you for your clear explanation about webinars. I have seen them mentioned without fully exploring what they offer and you have listed some interesting topics out there.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found the explanation useful. I would really get into them if I were you. They are free, and it is a lovely way of spending a Wednesday evening (often, up to 2000 people 'attend'). You pick up things you didn't know before, and it is just a nice feeling to know that there are people out there who have the same interests as you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Visiting from A/Z; we have lots of webinars through work, but looks like a lot of good topics for someone interested in geneology!
ReplyDeleteOnly a few more letters to go for the challenge; hope you enjoyed participating in it!
