Register for 2 genealogy webinars this week: Using Google Earth for Genealogy (Lisa Louise Cooke) and Sources and Citations (Geoff Rasmussen)

Join us this Wednesday AND Friday for two exciting genealogy webinars presented by Lisa Louise Cooke and Geoff Rasmussen. On Wednesday, Lisa will present "Using Google Earth for Genealogy" and on Friday Geoff will present "Sources and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful."
Wednesday - Using Google Earth for Genealogy by Lisa Louise Cooke
Lcooke-100In this extremely popular class Google Earth Guru Lisa Louise Cooke will teach you how to unlock mysteries in your research: from unidentified photographs, to how an ancestral location looked a hundred years ago or more, to plotting homesteads precisely using land patent legal descriptions. You’ll learn how to interpret the genealogical records you already have in new and exciting ways using layers, overlays, forensic analysis, and little known online tech tools. You will be amazed to discover that Google Earth is one of the best free genealogical tools available!
Friday - Sources and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful by Geoff Rasmussen
Presenter-6679If genealogy without documentation is mythology, recording our citations is essential to sound genealogical research. In this webinar, Geoff Rasmussen will 1) explain what makes a good citation, 2) demonstrate how to properly and consistently record the citation, and 3) provide insider tips and tricks for using Legacy Family Tree’s SourceWriter.
