Join us this Wednesday, February 12, for a free webinar with newspaper specialist and GenealogyBank.com representative, Tom Kemp. He will present, "Family Stories: Using Newspapers to Reconnect with the Stories of Your Family's Past."

Webinar Description

As genealogists we want to learn who our ancestors and relatives are, to document them, learn the stories of their lives and pass them down to the rising generation. The old newspapers are the new tool for uncovering these stories. Newspapers were published every day of their lives – take this tour of the remarkable examples that can be found in GenealogyBank’s three centuries of newspaper archives. Find your family’s stories that have been lost over time – document them and preserve them. Don’t let your heritage be lost.

Feel the exhilaration of Asia as you pull into port

Celebrity adds Asia to their list of exciting destinations. From bustling, modern cities to quiet, mist-shrouded jungles, the Far East is a place of beauty, history and mystery. Celebrity Millennium will now transport you to Asia in magnificent, luxurious style. Celebrity explores this graceful and mystical area of the world for the first time. She’ll visit twelve breathtaking locations if you travel with us on both sailings including Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, China and more. Sail between Singapore and Hong Kong with overnight calls in Bangkok, Thailand; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and the majestic Halong Bay, Vietnam. Each stop will take you about as far away from the everyday as you can get. Each destination is special and varied with its own rhythm, cuisine, culture and flavor. 

Genealogy Classes at Sea

While at sea attend classes taught by the Legacy Family Tree developers, Geoff Rasmussen, Dave Berdan, Ken McGinnis, and others. In addition to the classes, you will benefit from the small-group sessions and lots of time to learn from each other.

The Ship

Luxurious accommodations and intuitive service consistently place Celebrity Millennium at the top of the rankings among large cruise ships. A favorite of many vacationers, Celebrity Millennium was "Solsticized" in May of 2012 and emerged with many award-winning Solstice® Class features. She's been renewed with spa-inspired AquaClass® staterooms, the AquaClass signature restaurant, Blu, and the addition of verandas to her chic Celebrity Suites. We can't think of a better way to experience the exotic beauty of the Panama Canal than aboard Celebrity Millennium. Out of the ordinary? Definitely.
