Genealogy Webinars with Michael John Neill

Michael John Neill, the author of Casefile Clues, is doing a series of webinars at very reasonable prices ($4.00 to $8.50). These webinars are not listed on the calendar at GeneaWebinars so I thought it would be worth posting them here for those who may be interested.

Description
29 December 2012
This presentation will look at responsible ways to “tie” images and other Ancestry.com data to your online tree. There’s more to sourcing that simply connecting the image/data to your ancestor. We will focus on actual example and see how to reduce the chance you accidentally get errors in your data.
29 December 2012
We will look at ways to get errors out of your own tree. This will include fixing relationships, removing duplicates, altering incorrect sourcing, and more. Attendees should have some working knowledge of using the Ancestry.com trees.

We will take a quick look broadly at what content Fold3.com has, but will spend the bulk of the presentation time discussing how to search and effectively navigate material on the website. Fold3.com is a paid website and requires a subscription. Attendees do not need to have their own subscription.

Archive.org has changed since our original presentation. This session will provide a broad overview of the material on the Archive.org site, how to search for specific content (particularly printed histories and microfilm), how to navigate that material, and what viewing and downloading options there are for material on Archive.org. Archive.org does not require a subscription and is free to use.

FamilySearch.org is free for all to use. We will look at hints and suggestions for navigating and interacting with content on FamilySearch. This presentation is geared towards beginning and intermediate level researchers.
