It’s a new year.
Time to turn over a new leaf, make new plans, accomplish different goals….get back into genealogy!
The unplanned hiatus is over, thanks to The Genealogy Girl’s gentle nudging. So one of my bigger goals is to return to my genealogy research as well as blogging.
Although genealogy research (and blogging) fell by the wayside, I did continue to attend webinars, and learned a lot of new things. Here are some of the ones I enjoyed the most in the last three months:
- A Library at Your Fingertips – the Internet Archive by Maureen Taylor
- Overcoming Destroyed or Missing Records by Karen Clifford
- Welcome to FamilySearch Indexing! by Devin Ashby
- Tracking Migration Using the Draper Manuscripts by Mary Hill
- Using Evernote for Genealogy by Lisa Louise Cook
- Researching Your War of 1812 Ancestor by Thomas MacEntee
- Can You Hear Me Now? Voice Recognition Software for Genealogists by Luana Darby
All of the above webinars are available in the Family Tree Webinars Archive.
The dive into DNA occurred during that last quarter of 2014, and now we are awaiting the results and maybe some matches. Hopefully new cousins will pop up along the way.
The new year holds much promise for genealogy research and discoveries.

All of those sound really great. I don’t recall, how much does a membership cost so you can view the webinars in the archive? I can’t wait to hear about your DNA journey. Exciting!
It’s $49.95 annually or $9.95/month. There’s at least one almost every Wednesday, and sometimes on Friday too. So with either plan you can listen to any of the webinars, and with that comes all the instructors’ handouts, the chat log that occurs during the webinar, plus you get 5% off anything in their store.
I have never subscribed because I can usually work the Wednesday webinars into my flexible schedule. Or there’s also the option to watch them free for seven days after they occur. So if I miss one, I still have a week to watch that one. Plus some are always free. But I understand the middle of the day isn’t convenient for most people.
Thanks for the info! I’m interested in the one about… oh goodness, the voice recognition software one with the name I can’t remember off the top of my head. Anyway, I would like to watch/listen to that one. 🙂
Thank you. And good wishes for you as well!
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
