Digital Images, Staying Safe w/Social Media, and Newspapers


We've got a terrific lineup of webinar topics for you to conclude our June schedule. From your own computer you will learn from genealogy's experts about digitizing and editing your photos, staying safe with social media (Facebook, Google+), and finding marriages and anniversaries in newspapers. Best of all - every webinar is free to you.
Sign up for one or all of them today and we will remind you via email both one day and one hour before the live event. Because of the popularity of these topics, plan to arrive at least 20-30 minutes early. Remember, only the first 1,000 to join on the day of the live event will get in. Also, ensure that your Java is updated at www.Java.com as our webinars utilize this technology. Hope to see you online!
