Family Historian User Group

With the addition of Findmypast hints to Family Historian 6.2 I thought perhaps there were new users to that service who might be interested in a webinar scheduled for Wednesday. The webinar is 'no cost'. Since I am not familiar with this data service I have already registered.

Information with the url is as follows:

Getting to Know Findmypast - Your Source for British and Irish Genealogy by Jen Baldwin

If your family has origins in the British Isles, Findmypast is a resource you should be utilizing! Learn about our incredible British and Irish collections, the advantages of using global newspapers, and get a glimpse of the new PERiodical Source Index (PERSI).

Just wanted to add a note to people who are unfamiliar with Legacy Family Tree Webinars.

For most webinars, the initial broadcast is free to the public. The recording is usually posted the same day, or the day after, and is free to the public for the next 7 days.

After that, it is available by subscription to LFT Webinar members, or by purchase from the Legacy store. Handouts are for members only.

However, many of the webinars in the library are marked as free for anyone (usually the ones that involve someone from a data website explaining how the service works) and Jen's is marked as 'free'.

Jen's webinar on FindMyPast is here: http://familytreewebinars.com/download. ... nar_id=403

There is another webinar on FindMyPast coming up from Legacy in August by Brian Donovan:
Using Findmypast to Unlock Your Irish Ancestry Wednesday, August 24, 2016 6:00pm GMT
Details and registration link at http://familytreewebinars.com/webinar_d ... nar_id=389

Legacy FT Webinars use Go To Webinar for the initial broadcast. I've used it on Windows, and on my Android phone -- the app is in Google's Play Store.
