There are some topics in genealogy that appeal only to a certain group - like ethnic or geographic research. Here's a topic that all Legacy Family Tree webinar subscribers can enjoy! "Caring for Keepsakes: The Top 10 Family Heirlooms" by Denise May Levenick has just been added to the Legacy webinar library.

This webinar is full of surprises! Denise surveyed genealogists to find out what their top family heirlooms were. The list will surprise and delight you. In this webinar, Denise will take you through the list of heirlooms and open your eyes to all the considerations needed to care for your keepsakes.
