Register for 2 Genealogy webinars this week - One-Place Studies (Kirsty Gray) AND Finding Confederate Soldiers and Their Records (Mark Lowe)

Join us this Wednesday AND Friday for two exciting genealogy webinars presented by Kirsty Gray and Mark Lowe. On Wednesday Kirsty will present "One-Place Studies - Tracing the History of a Community" and on Friday Mark will present "Step-by-Step - Finding Confederate Soldiers and Their Records."
Wednesday - One-Place Studies - Tracing the History of a Community by Kirsty Gray
The people, the streets, the churches, the workplaces, the shops and the public buildings – there are so many aspects to explore in a village to uncover its fascinating history. The village detective, Kirsty Gray, documents the sources available to trace the history of villages, with particular reference to her own one-place studies in southern England, and how genealogical/historical records can be used to build up a comprehensive picture of a community from the 18th to the 21st century.

Friday - Step-by-Step - Finding Confederate Soldiers and Their Records by Mark Lowe
Using a record-based approach, learn to find the basic records of your Confederate Ancestor. A review of basic military records will be presented by following a solider throughout all available records, including Pensions (online and textual) and alternates: local civil records, Fraternal Organizations, state agency records, home guard and militia records, manuscripts, and newspaper accounts.
