A Look at Wisconsin Genealogy Resources, free webinar by Thomas MacEntee now online for a limited time


The recording of today's excellent webinar by Thomas MacEntee is now online to view for free for a limited time. It was good, even for people with no Wisconsin ancestors:
"As was promoted before the webinar, although I have no Wisconsin people, I did have people that crossed Wisconsin, and the webinar was interesting, inspiring, and my fiance and I got new resources for related research. The presenter was professional, pleasant and enjoyable."
Special thanks to the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society for their work in developing the new Legacy QuickGuide: Wisconsin Genealogy. Available for just $2.95, this 4-page PDF contains a listing of essential Badger State resources including a timeline of Wisconsin history events, tips on Wisconsin research strategy, a list of Wisconsin migration routes and more. Also included are over 100 links to websites and resources covering vital records, church records, census records, as well as general Wisconsin resources.
