The Maryland Genealogical Society is pleased to once again partner with Maryland Public Television (MPT) to offer a new beginner-to-intermediate genealogy webinar series. Finding Your Roots: Organize Your Genealogy includes four (4) two-hour sessions that are designed to help you organize the many aspects of your genealogical research.
Sessions include:
- What To Do With All That Data (March 13)
- Make It Easy to Write and Share Family Stories (March 27)
- Organize and Preserve Your Family Archive (April 10)
- All Those DNA Matches - What Do They Mean? (April 24)
Registrants will also receive a one-year introductory membership to the Maryland Genealogical Society (not applicable to current MGS members) and a one-year MPT Passport membership or membership extension. You can register on the MPT registration page.
The cost of the series is $100.00. Each session will feature a combination of lecture, small and large group discussion, question and answer time, and a homework assignment relating to your family search. Handouts will be provided for each session. Since the presentations will be recorded, you can register at any point during the series.
