Learning Opportunities Galore! Online Webinars from FamilySearch.org

Genealogists from FamilySearch.org's US and Canada's Research team offer a number of online webinars for free on a regular basis. All you need is a computer with audio and internet access.

Some of the content they have listed on their site is applicable to Canadian research like Beginning LDS Research, Planning a Research Trip and Immigration Into the United States, just over the summer months alone.

Looking for another topic entirely? FamilySearch maintains quite an archive in its Learning Center that is available whenever you need it!

The OGS has two easy ways to learn:

1. The OGS eWeekly: Sign up online for free. No need to be a member.
2. There is a monthly online OGS webinar, the first Tuesday of every month. The variety is great: Future Proofing your family history reasearch with Thomas MacEntee was this past Tuesday, and August 4 is on Canadian Copyright for Family Historians with Kathryn Lake Hogan. Members have access to archived webinars in the members-only area of the site.

Enjoy!

The Family History Library has long offered courses to those interested in pursuing their family history. However, for those of us not local to Salt Lake City, Utah, participating has been, well, a bit difficult.

They now offer their courses online in the following areas:
* England Beginning Research
* Germany Research
* Ireland Research
* Italy Research
* New Zealand Research
* Poland Research
* Principios básicos para la investigación genealógica en Hispanoamérica (México)
* Reading Handwritten Records Series
* Research Principles and Tools
* Russia Research
* U.S. Research

Each option is broken down into a number of lessons which features a video and a course outline for each. Since some of the more recent additions are very general, they make good starting points for the beginning genealogist and are a great refresher for the more experienced family historian. In addition, many Canadian families came to Canada from other places. Perhaps one of these lessons will help you locate more information on the ancestor who immigrated here?
